Another Missing Dog

This is from last night:

‘We have the old Madsen place (just south of coast gallery) and Magnus Toren (from henry miller library) just came by to say hello and his son’s dog ran away about an hour ago about 6pm. It’s a friendly brown/tan 2 y.o. neutered male pit bull mix with a collar stating “Zeak Toren” with their son, Stefan Toren’s name and number (906.630.0872) on the collar (he’s on a coast guard trip). We think he headed to the highway. Our number is 667.0790 – lost at the old Madsen place across from coast gallery. Magnus’ number is 831.667. 2714. we’ve alerted the sheriff.

Huge thank you in advance,

MoCo Sheriff enforcing no camping

On Nacimiento I counted 34 campsites on the side of the road yesterday, Saturday, between the summit and the coast. Almost all of them in dangerous locations. There is no privacy, no place for human waste, people are camped practically on top of each other. This is not camping. The road is dangerous enough just being so narrow and winding and in generally bad shape. This phenomena just adds another layer of dangerousness to an existing situation.

Historical Society Meets on Saturday

Sounds like a wonderful program. Wishing I lived closer.

The first agency/residents meeting will take place later this week. Unfortunately, I have to attend a funeral so will not be able to attend. Representative residents from both the North and South Coast will be in attendance.The meeting venue is small, so I don’t believe it will be open to everyone who is interested, at this juncture. At least we are finally getting some dialogue going after last month’s meeting.
