San Andreas, CA...The Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind the public about mine and cave safety. Recently there has been a renewed public interest in the exploration of abandoned mines and uncommercialized caves. However, as exciting as it might sound, cave and mine exploring is inherently dangerous. Caves and mines each contain unique hazards and the potential for major accidents. Each year, a number of people are killed in abandoned mines. Mines are especially treacherous and contain the following safety hazards: Loose or falling rock, unstable ground, old explosives, rotten “shoring”, cave-ins, hazardous chemicals, poisonous air/ lack of oxygen, water-filled pits, dangerous animals or insects, and many more.
Sonora, CA....On March 12, 2022, Tuolumne County Alliance for Resources & Environment (TuCARE) will hold their 33rdAnnual Dinner and Auction.

Proceeds from the auctions go to support TuCARE’s “Tours for Kids” programs. This year marks the organization’s 33rd annual event (although the last 2 years were not held in-person).
