IT'S 33.3 OUTSIDE
And it's trying so very hard to snow. Right now it's between corn snow and little snow flakes. Maybe in half an hour it will start to stick??
This is just a head's up that we may really be getting weather today. The towels my husband hung on the line and then left out overnight not counting on that infamous weather actually coming in were very wet when we got up this morning. That's what dryers are for.
Have a great day.............

MOMMY.....CAN I GO PLAY ON THE FREEWAY???
I can now say that I've been to a ribbon cutting ceremony. And this one was meaningful because we, as a community living 'up the hill', have been driving past the destruction and construction for the past 18 months. This phase 2 bypass was completed 8 months ahead of time, with a lot of that credit going to agreeable weather. Certain elements were left out because of budget cuts but will be completed with time. One mentioned was the Peaceful Oak(s) interchange.
As are all events out on an overpass with a portable public address system, it was pretty much impossible to hear most of what was said by the various speakers. All we very interesting however--with what I could hear. I'm going to let my photos speak the 1000 words (or more) I couldn't hear!

Vintage cars, waiting for the signal to be the first to drive across the new Hwy 108 before it is open to the public. Official opening to the public is supposed to be about 3:00 p.m., this afternoon, November 1st. We got to drive across it around 2:15-2:30.
MyMotherLode.com was there!
Cal Trans workers walking toward the ceremony spot.
Awesome vintage cars from these to 50's and 60's cars and pickups.
View from the overcrossing. It's wa-a-a-y up there!
Beautiful day to enjoy the scenery and check out the erosion control precautions.

Before the ceremony, one last sweep of the roadway.
Part of the crowd.
Finally, the ribbon is cut by Ron Stearns, 49 year member of the Sonora City Council. He has been a part of all phases of the Highway 108 improvements.
Lt. R. Scott Clamp, of the California Highway Patrol.
Beginning the drive over the new-to-us roadway. The crews have done quite a job!
Driving over Peaceful Oaks Rd. It's interesting to see where new road will take over.
What? District 3 Supervisor Evan Royce hitch hiking? No! He was just checking something out.
Return trip East, back up towards Mi Wuk. Unless we're going on business, this will be the last drive up this part of the highway for awhile. The remaining roadway, from Hess (I think) to Via Este, will be renamed Mono Way. Highway 108 will henceforth be the new road.
It was fun and I'd do it again. Once in a life time for this section of road.
WOOHOO!!!
WOOHOO!!!
And now, here's some more information from MyMotherLode.com
Sonora, CA - Tuolumne County motorists can start driving on the new
section of the East Sonora Bypass today. A ribbon cutting ceremony
was held at 1:00pm today and the road is scheduled to be open to the
public to drive at 3:00pm. The CHP noted that the speed limit on the
bypass is 55 miles per hour.
The first person to officially drive across the bypass was Sonora
City Council member Ron Stearn. Stearn was recognized for his 49 years
of City Council service. Accolades were given to the Project Managers
and all the members who helped complete the project, including the
public for investing $54 million in state and local funds. Caltrans and
the Tuolumne County Transportation Council (TCTC) finished the project
eight months sooner than expected.
Tuolumne County Transportation Council Executive Director Darin
Grossi says, "The Standard/ Peaceful Oak area is a major commercial area
with a lot of money ready to be invested in the area with jobs that will
build our economy."
CalTrans Director Malcolm Dougherty says the new section is "going to
cut on travel times back and forth but really what is important for me
is the safety benefits." He says, "[We] are really making it a much
easier drive and reducing a lot of the conflicts." He also says, "It's
an important route; important to the Mother Lode and to the Sierra and
then the connection down into the central valley."
The Highway is used by more than 20,000 motorists daily. [I heard 25,000.] A dry winter last year combined with efficient management allowed the road to open ahead of schedule. The local community was thanked by project officials for enduring the construction delays during the entire 18 month process. There remains a third phase and an on-off ramp at Standard to complete.

HIGHWAY 108 BYPASS CELEBRATION
Sonora, CA --
This afternoon is the big ribbon cutting for the extension of the Highway 108 bypass.
Scheduled speakers include District Four Tuolumne County Supervisor John Gray, Sonora Mayor Hank Russell, Councilmember Ron Stearn, and T.C. Transportation Council Executive Director Darin Gross.
The $54 million project was finished several months ahead of schedule and was nearly $2 million over budget. The 1pm ribbon cutting will be held at the eastern end of the new bypass on Highway 108. The new stretch will officially open shortly after the event.
My husband Russ and I will be going. More details later today.............. I've never been to any sort of a 'ribbon cutting'.

GET YOUR MWSPFPD RIM FIRE TEE SHIRT **HERE** !
The Rim Fire tee-shirts presented by our Mi Wuk Sugar Pine Fire Protection District Auxiliary have arrived and are now available for purchase.
Back:
Front:
I strongly feel (editorial comment perhaps) that our department, led by Chief Larry Crabtree, was instrumental in keeping our community so well informed during the fire. They orchestrated daily briefings at the Word of Life Church (which could handle the crowds of 200-500 who came for information) for the community as well as offered hospitality to any law enforcement or fire fighting strike team coming by, day or night. After five or so years of volunteer labor, we now have the perfect facility for offering a quiet space, coffee, bathrooms and food from the community as well as large tables with the latest maps and updates. The Mi Wuk Sugar Pine Fire Protection District Station was "information central" on the hill.
You can purchase your shirt at the Mi Wuk Sugar Pine Fire Station on Hwy 108 Monday-Friday, 9:00-4:00 p.m. OR, especially if you are non-full time residents and won't be up here for awhile, send an email to me, blythek@mac.com, and I will pull the requested sized shirts from stock to secure them and then mail them after receiving your payment (check please, payable to MWSPFPDA). Postage will be added to your purchase and I'll send it/them as reasonably as possible. Tax is included in the price of the shirt.
You can also call me, 209-586-1962, or Linda Clark, 209-770-6231 (m), if you'll be coming up on the weekend. If we're available, we'll help you.
Shirts are available in the following sizes:
Regular short sleeved tee, $20.00:
- Small
- Medium
- Large
- Extra Large
- 2XL
- 3XL
- Large* (9 available)
- Extra Large* (20 available)
- 2XL* (5 available)
- Large* (9 available)
- Extra Large* (12 available)

While we have 300 shirts available, they will be going fast, so if you want one or more, please come by the station or send me an email soon. I will go to the station every day to pull out the sizes you request.
I don't recall if I told you before, but the photo, out behind the Long Barn area, was taken by a Rim Fire Fighter from an Oakland strike team. Thanks Mike!!!
Please support our Auxiliary (we are a 501(c)3 organization) so we can support our department's needs as they arise.

FINALLY--THE RIM FIRE IS FULLY CONTAINED
Tuolumne County, CA -- The Rim Fire is now fully contained over two
months after it was ignited, but Forest Service officials say it will
take a good rain to completely put it out.
The total of 257,314 acres was scorched. There are still 42 firefighters on the scene. At the height of the fire that number was more than five thousand.
"They will continue to mop up," says Forest Service Spokesperson Jerry Snyder. "The interior of the fire is still smoldering. We expect that there are going to be pockets of burning material. Until we get some good rain we don't see anything in the near future that is going to provide enough moisture to put out the fire."
The total cost to fight the fire has topped $127 million dollars. There were eleven homes, three commercial properties and 98 outbuilding destroyed in the flames. A total of 10 firefighters were injured in the blaze. The Rim Fire was started on August 17th by a hunter's illegal camp fire.

BRICKS! AVAILABLE FOR ORDERING!
Several years ago, 2007 to be exact, the Mi Wuk Sugar Pine Fire Protection District Auxiliary (MWSPFPDA) started a fund raiser for the department that has been nicknamed BRICKS. That's because we were and ARE selling 8" x 8" and 4" x 8" personalized bricks.
Early orders of bricks have been attached to two walls of the Fire Department Building.
Early orders of bricks have been attached to two walls of the Fire Department Building.
Brick wall facing Apparatus Bays
Brick wall facing Hwy 108, right end of building
Final prep of wall at left end of building, facing Hwy 108
The worker-bees, Russ and Blythe Klipple.
(someone came by [thank you Sharon] who could take our photo)
Intern Randy Shawda got roped into helping us, cleaning off bricks with a damp rag to remove lime staining.
All the bricks that we had in-house are now on the building. Next...........more orders for more bricks!
By the way, when all brick are installed, the areas above and below the personalized bricks will be filled in with 'stone' that you can still see above and below some of the bricked areas.
Now I can come back to YOU, the public, homeowners, part time and full time residents: There is space available on this last wall for about 50 more bricks. I'll start calling these *limited edition* bricks because there is a finite amount of space left for placing them.
8" x 8" bricks are $100: 6 lines of text, 20 characters per line.
4" x 8" bricks are $50: 3 lines of text, 20 characters per line.
Leave one space between each word. Any other information you should need will be on the ordering form.
You can pick up order forms at the fire station most any time of day or by requesting me to mail you one: blythek@mac.com
Personalized bricks make great gifts, memorials and are a wonderful way to recognize accomplishments. The Klipples have two bricks up there: one for our children and grandchildren and one for the exchange students and European friends we've entertained at our cabin/home in Mi Wuk Village over the years. We're contemplating a third one.
As soon as we get 50 bricks ordered, I will be placing our order. Be the first on "your block" to order your "limited edition" brick. :) Support our fabulous Fire Protection District that orchestrated so much community service/information during the Rim Fire as well as opened their doors to all visiting Fire Fighters. As an Auxiliary member (men and women can join you know!) I am so proud of my department.
Mi Wuk Sugar Pine FPD RIM FIRE TEE SHIRTS
I think I mentioned a few weeks ago that Rim Fire Fighter, Mike Scott from Oakland FD shared some fabulous photos taken in the areas behind Long Barn, with my husband, Russ, and me.
The MiWuk/SugarPine Fire Auxiliary is going to be selling tee shirts using one of Mike's photos, as a fund raiser for our department and as a 'tip of the hat' for all that Chief Crabtree and the department did during the height of the Fire.
Tee shirts will be available in sizes S to XL, 2X and 3X, primarily short sleeved with a few long sleeved shirts being ordered and some short sleeved shirts with a front pocket. We will be ordering a variety of sizes. The basic tee shirt color is a dark-ish Heather Gray.
I will have a full photo ready for posting on Thursday, along with pricing. We're waiting for final approval from the Auxiliary as a whole before that information is announced. Tees will be in the $20-$25 dollar range; extra $2-$4.50 for pockets, long sleeves and 2X and 3X sizes.
I'm really excited about this and can't wait to sport my new tee shirt. They are awesome, respectful and an honor to those who risked their lives for US.
Here's a small screen shot hint of the back of the tee shirt. The MWSPFPD logo will be on the front.
Feel free to let me know of your interest in the next day or two so I can use that information towards our initial order count. This isn't an order! Just an idea of community interest. Tee shirts will be available through the blog (additional $ for postage) or at the Mi Wuk Sugar Pine Hwy 108 Station.
