Highway 138 East is Open Again

Posted on September 21, 2017 by Jay Hanawalt

Thanks to the rain this week, Hwy 138 east to recreation areas in the Diamond Lake & Crater Lake areas is open again for the first time in about six weeks. Much of the forest along both sides of the highway is still closed as the fire is diminished but not yet out. With nearly 50,000 acres of forest burned on both sides of the highway, it’s going to look very different from what it was a couple of months ago.

Ideas for Self Care, very personal fitness

Posted on September 8, 2017 by Julianne G Crane

In addition to all these great Self Care ideas listed here, consider sharing a little of yourself with your Timber Valley community by volunteering a few minutes of your time and talent.

Here are a few quick, one shot deals:

  • Help with dining room set-up for the Volunteer Appreciation Dinner, Wed., Sept. 13, 9 a.m.
  • Help with clean-up after dinner.
  • Annual Clubhouse Cleaning, Sat., Sept. 16, beginning at 10 a.m. going until done.  All kinds of small tasks from dusting … to cleaning windows … to scrubbing floors. Sign-up in Clubhouse ahead of time … or just show up.
  • And, if you cannot help with cleaning, consider bringing a special treat for the workers.

If you are unable to help with any of those events and you are still itching for something to do — just give Julianne Crane a call (509-869-8679) or stop by Site #197, and we’ll figure something out.

Fire Danger Lowered a Notch

Posted on September 7, 2017 by Jay Hanawalt


The rain in the last 24 hours has lowered the fire danger from Extreme to High, according to the Douglas Forest Protection Association, which controls this area.  The mowing of dry grass and the use of power saws is now allowed between 8PM and 10AM.  There is more rain forecast for the next couple of days so maybe we will get enough to make a dent in the forest fires in Oregon.

Wi-Fi System Repair

Posted on September 6, 2017 by Jay Hanawalt

Charter/Spectrum had two guys and two trucks out again this afternoon and finally installed a brand new cable modem on the Wi-Fi system in the clubhouse, this one with a static IP address. Please let me know if you have any further problems so we can track them down. My thanks to Bob Dumilieu (the “tunnel canary”), the Apple users group, and all those who helped to document the ongoing intermittent problems.
