Tahoe '23/'24 - Reserve Now For Best Pricing!!!

[mcski]

The one along 80 in the canyon(Quilici Ranch/Verdi) is still going strong this morning, and is now at 400 acres.

Ugh, they killed power to most of Tahoe and truckee last night because of this one. I assumed it was under control once power came back this am. Hopefully infrastructure is not in the crosshairs anymore

Bridgetender has a generator and they were killing it. Never seen that place so crowded before. If I owned a restaurant I might consider doing the same since I’m sure this won’t be the last time.

You went? That’s hillarious

A spot is opening up in a nanny share we’re a part of for a kid 18-36 months old. PM me if you’re interested in learning more.

It wasn’t my intention but I ended up there for a bit.

They don't mess around in Nevada. Gold Ranch fire started by a burning Alfa Romeo, not by some beater like the Park fire.

Gold Ranch driver was arrested for DUI

The Gold Ranch Fire was still going strong on Monday around 8:30 am.
Hella smokey in Verdi and most of Reno (down to Midtown).
I went to a movie at The Summit mall and when I came out around noon, the skies were clear. Verdi was blue sky on my way home at 4:30.
I had to pee, so pulled into Cabela’s. The power was still out there.
They had 80 E backed up to Floriston and lottsa copter action.
Went to Reno yesterday (Thurs 8/14). Fire looks out, but they still have a mass of crews posted up in Boomtown. Power was back up, though.
80 E was backed up around 5;30 pm, but not as bad as it had been on Monday
Was down in Reno again today and they still have crews out, but it seems like it is snuffed good.

that’s a lot of driving to Reno

Sometimes you gotta do it. I drove to Reno the other day for a couple doctor appointments and a stop at Moment. I drove home, threw my wife in the car and drove back to see a concert at Grand Sierra.

Baby needs new shoes.

In other news, WAPO listed 10 great lakes in the US to visit. Donner was one of them. How wonderful.

[heckacali]

Quick, jack up you STR rates!!!

Cool, so more brawls on the public docks? Got a laugh out of that news story the other day. Several weeks ago we setup on one of them and an STR-er said we were on their dock. I said I think you should call the police immediately and report us for trespassing. Karen got quiet real quick.

[mcski]

Public docks brawls? Is there a video that wasn’t posted??

I posted that in the comments to the article.

[mcski]

Thx. Good stuff!

[dookeyXXX]

My takeaway from that article is that “Barbara” is the new “Karen.”

I wouldn't get medical care in Truckee if my life depended on it. Especially if my life depended on it. (Other than ortho I spose.)

good to know

Agreed. I try to go w them the benefit of the doubt but way to many horror stories abound to trust them w anything serious

[mcski]

Lol

[old goat]

Yeah, well if they'd gone down to Reno for graceries they might not have had to eat each other. But Mikey says no, so . . .

BTW, James Reed in the photo wasn't with the Donner Party at Donner Lake, having been banished for killing a teamster. He reached Sacto safely and tried to organize rescue parties. For me the most poignant story from the Donner Party is young Virginia Reed offering to stay behind with her younger brother James, who was too small to walk through the snow with their mother on one of the attempts to escape over the mountains. (Margaret and the other members came back, having been able to find a way down the west slope.)
