***Jim Rogers Ride cancelled for tomorrow***

Again a reminder, because of the weather, the 10th Annual Jim Rogers Memorial ride will be CANCELLED this year. Take a moment on Sunday, on your next ride, or when you're driving your car to remember Jimmy if you knew him. Also remember that riding is a great privilege we get to share and how in a split second one small mistake can have enormous consequences. Driving in itself is a dedicated task and should be respected as one. Put down your cellphones, remove the distractions and be alert. Be safe and enjoy the journey. ... See more

The U.S. Forest Service is currently working on completing their temporary hiring for the 2019 season (approx. May – October depending on funding). Our Trails Crew, located on the Tahoe National Forest’s Yuba River Ranger District, is currently looking for interested applicants. The duty station is in Camptonville, CA near Bullard Bar Reservoir. We are responsible for nearly 500 miles of trail with mixed uses such as OHV, horseback riding, mountain biking and hiking recreation across our District. For additional information about the trail seasonal positions contact Paul Hart at 530-478-6253 ext 243 or pdhart@fs.fed.us.

If you know of anyone who is interested they can create a profile at www.USAJobs.gov, upload a resume and prepare for our upcoming announcement. Usually our announcements are only open a short time so preparing beforehand can be very beneficial. I can share the announcement number with you as soon as the application becomes open and available to complete.

Thank you for your time and hope to hear from you soon.

Here are a couple of dates to put on your calendar while you're stuck indoors! On Sunday Feb. 17 from 9-1 we are going to be working on the super-fun and beautiful Round Mountain switchbacks. Vegetation is once again encroaching and we'll be brushing it back plus improving the bench and turns as well. The following Tuesday, Feb. 19 at 6 pm we'll have another "social" Board Of Directors meeting. A little business will have to be done but mostly this will be a fun gathering with some kind of interesting presentation. Danno's working on the what and where and we'll let you know the deets when it gets a little closer. Hope to see you there! ... See more

For sure we're gonna work on Hoot this time! Sunday 1/27 meet at Harmony Ridge Market at 9 AM. Bombproof weather forecast for high pressure ridge next weekend. Thanks to a very generous donation, we just got a whole bunch of new McLeods. Do bring flat shovels and Rogue hoes if you have them, though, because this will be a shovel party. Garden rakes could be useful as well. We'll use the market for a staging area and depending on turnout may split up into separate groups for upper and lower Hoot and possibly Scotts. We'll work 'til around 1. No official ride after but bring your bike if you think you'll want to ride like you know you will. Hope to see you there! ... See more
