Calaveras, CA...My daughter recently entered a contest at her school called "Dinner With a Scientist". It's an annual event the district puts on for the 6th graders. To enter, she had to come up with a new invention. Her invention was a robot designed to help the elderly in their daily lives. Or as she put it, "A robot for old people"...don't worry, I helped her put a more PC title on her invention. She won a spot at the event and had a great time learning and meeting many different scientific professionals...

White Pines, CA...In the case of the Logging Museum's Jamboree, the Rim Fire, despite being such a catastrophe for so many, may have been a major contributor to the attendance at this years event. We think it was the largest attendance there has ever been, the folks ate a whole lot of food, bought a lot of raffle tickets, and generally had a wonderful time. Timing was such that we had a number of professional loggers who had been on the fire, but were able to attend and compete. This included competition director, Steve Kafka, who had been on the fire just a few days before the Jamboree.
As always The Sierra Logging Museum is a must stop visit when you are in our area. Not only for events like the Logging Jamboree but for Logging history or even just a great place to have a picnic lunch.
