Very strange we don’t get a big snow storm for a few years and it’s like they forgot how to do it yes I understand there was some major storms but when the sun is shining for 5 or 6 days and it’s still encouraging the roads indicates there’s an issue with management failing to acknowledge predictions of weather.
It seems caltrans was more interested this last September and taking photographs and video of the beautiful trees deep in the backcountry 8 miles on dirt roads in an official caltrans vehicle and then began harassing me while I was camping here’s the video of them trying to explain speak with Mr Anderson at The district 9 office and ask him for the silly excuse he gave me for them being out there.
Here’s a link to the YouTube video of my discussion with the joy writing caltrans employees with the supervisor driving the tour.

One of the staffing issues with caltrans is the one supervisor is such a horrible person that many employees have quit or requested transfers this is why they had to hire multiple people from out of state in Hawthorne which many are now not working for caltrans for obvious reasons.
