He and two of his friends went exploring in the wooded area North of the Oaks Mobile Home Park and ended up losing their way. Amador County Dispatch was able to "Ping" the cell phone and get an approximate location for the boys and then with the help of the Sheriff's Office aerial drone and the hiking skills of two Deputies, all three boys were located safe and sound just before the sun went down.

A few days of sunny weather will prevail before a return of more snow come Thursday. It’s a Holiday weekend and you need to be up here! Get out and ski/ride and enjoy the Pure Mtn Fun ethos!

Avery, CA...A large black oak fell across Utica’s canal near Avery this week. Fortunately, it didn’t compromise the canal bank or cause a blockage, but it did create a precarious situation. A big thanks to the crews from the Vallecito Conservation Camp under Cal Fire’s direction for helping our team safely cut up and remove the hazard tree.
