• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hope all is well on your homestead John. Pity to see the area burnt. Have fond memories of the area. Stepdad was super for tunnel construction during hydro-construction during early '60s. Pollack Pines was our 1st town that we immigrated to in California. Learned how to squirell hunt in those areas and how to train a squirell dog.


Please let us know how you make out.
