We have a lot planned for the coming weekend but be aware that event particulars may change should conditions worsen due to the wildfires in adjacent counties.  Skies are blue here this morning as we post this but the Caldor fire threatening South Lake Tahoe is still not contained.  Last night, the USFS also closed all 20 National Forests in California.  As always, we are grateful to all the firefighters and others who are working to keep our communities safe. And, on this Labor Day weekend, we recognize all the people who work every day to make our lives safer, easier, or just a lot more fun.  Please remember to thank them!
