Posted by: thepinetree on 05/18/2016 02:22 PM
Angels Camp, CA...On May 18, 2016, at approximately 0945 hours, a Valley Springs man was driving his Chevrolet southbound on SR-49 north of Fourth Crossing Road at approximately 40 MPH. A Rail Road Flat woman was driving her Chevrolet, and a Valley Springs man was driving his Ford in the same direction, directly in front of the first vehicle. They stopped their vehicles just north of Fourth Crossing in order to allow a vehicle to turn left from SR-49 onto Fourth Crossing Road. He attempted to stop his vehicle, but was unable to stop in time to avoid a collision. The front of vehicle one collided with the rear of vehicle two. The force of that collision caused the front of vehicle two to collide with the rear of vehicle three. After the collision, all vehicles were removed from the roadway. The Rail Road Flat woman was transported from the scene by ambulance to Mark Twain Medical Center. She was subsequently flown by helicopter to Memorial Medical Center Modesto for treatment of minor injuries.

Valley Springs, CA...For a year and a half, the Commission has been doing its job to produce the elements of the General Plan to pass along to the board. Collectively, we have put in countless hours editing the General Plan in a way that we believe preserves the culture of the County while striving to improve it as a desirable place to live and raise a family. For my part, I know that I did this work for far less than minimum wage. I did it because I wanted to make a contribution to the County.

Sheep Ranch, CA...When we head to the Government Center in San Andreas many times we take the back way down Avery Sheep Ranch Road and through Mountain Ranch. It gives us an opportunity to see some of the fairest parts of the county and also take some quick peeks at progress on Butte Fire Recovery. Sometimes though the traffic backups are horrendous and remind me of sitting in Bay Area traffic. Congestion is unfortunately here to stay in Calaveras County. One fellow clogging the lanes even seemed to enjoy holding up traffic...
