Arnold, CA...For over two decades one familiar and reliable presence along the Ebbetts Pass Corridor has been UPS Driver Mike Mainguth. Michael has worked on Hwy. 4 from Angels Camp to Bear Valley for over 30 years. The past 24 years as a United Parcel Service delivery driver. The community has put a banner across Hwy 4 in Arnold thanking him for his service. He also recently raised his profile even a bit higher as he and his wife Evelyn recently were one of the winning couples in Dancing With the Stars at Ironstone.
We would like to thank Tim Muetterties for the photo!!
