HOLY TOLEDO! Stay where you are if you aren't already in Mi Wuk or nearby villages!

I've just ventured out to the Hwy 108 Fire Station (thank you) so I can post a few photos I took as I drove home yesterday.  Suffice it to say, "Mi Wuk is a mess."  Still beautiful, snow covered, but not a user friendly place at the moment.








Near upper Twain Harte entrance---at least we know they're here working on the many problems:

Mi Wuk entrance:


Diamond Jim's:
 Just beyond Diamond Jim's:



The POST OFFICE has no power, has a small generator for a single bright lamp, can take items for which you have exact change.  They cannot accept Priority Mail at this time since it has to have a metered strip.  Flat Rate Priority Envelopes:  yes.






The LIBRARY wifi doesn't seem to be working.  It only took a short time of sitting in the parking lot to determine that I wasn't going to get a signal.  :)



There ARE lines down all over the village.  Power IS out and we'll be able to get an update Thursday evening.  It doesn't look good.

The large snow plow was stuck at Lama/Lama-Tamalin yesterday afternoon with a ruptured (?)  hydraulic line.  She wasn't going anywhere soon and the mechanics arrived just as I was talking to the driver.  It's not there today so it's either fixed or out plowing.  LOTS needs to be plowed.

Lama/Lama-Tamalin, the 4-way stop:



Lama Court/Lama-Tamalin:

Yesterday afternoon, 2 large cedars across the road, so I had to detour back to the 4-way stop sign at Lama/Lama-Tamalin/Palapete, Lama to Hiapo to Lama-Tamalin and finally onto Lama-Hisum and home after 3 days gone.  Tuesday, 3 p.m., both have been trimmed to allow traffic to pass.  ONE WAY TRAFFIC at that point.

Various other hanging limbs or lines between Hiapo (my detour route) and Lama-Hisum/Susu Court:




So, if you're considering coming up---be prepared.   If you're 'iffy' about coming up, wait a week or so.

By the way Nola, your house is fine!
