Re: Snowmobiler’s be careful!

Here’s a partial portion of the accident report on NW Avalanche Center accident reports page: “On Friday, January 9th, four backcountry skiers were caught and carried by a large avalanche while descending near Longs Pass in the Teanaway River drainage. The slide occurred on an S to SE facing slope a...

Re: Snowmobiler’s be careful!

It was skiers, not snowmobiles, who were involved.

The area is in the Teanaway….NE of Cle Elum.

Re: Blackbirds info?

I recall a second owner after Martins. A couple from out of the area….they were always grumpy the few times I was in there. I don’t think they owned it for more than a year or two.

Re: Blackbirds info?

As I recall It was built, after the mill burned, in the mid-80’s. Then, the Eastside County road ran north right along the river. That place was first a mini-mart built by a couple….who didnt last long…maybe just a year or 2. It was a weird place to go into, in my opinion, as they were sort of stran...

Re: House Sitting and Animal Care

I have several family members who have used - very happily - trustedhousesitters.com for many years….mostly as home-owners, but also as sitters. Caring for pets is their main objective.

It does cost to join the service…but no $$ changes hand between sitters and owners.

Re: Methow River at 14.75 feet at 5:15 at Winthrop

I saw a Facebook post with some aerial photos of HWY 20 near the Silver Star gate - and above. Looked like multiple mud and rock slides across the road…plus maybe some washouts. I cant imagine WSDOT would try to tackle these this late in the year. May be a slow open next spring? Sorry…cant figure ou...

Do you have Methow.com as your email - Alert!

. I have NCI as my Internet provider….and use the ‘Methow.com’ e-mail address they have. It looks like NCI will be dropping this email domain ….at some point in the future. I learned about this 3 or 4 months back…when they told me the e-mail domain would stop at the end of 2025. Later…it seems they ...

Re: Methow Valley premium?

As Slade and Mel point out well….paying a little extra is what we should do….so as not to have go to Omak/Wenatchee and spend our $$ at places like Mal-Wart and Home Despot. Or…even worse…buying on-line. NAPA is a national brand - but the store here is owned and operated by a long time local. Suppor...
