Are you an adventurous soul? Do you love to explore? Or perhaps you just enjoy riding a bike off the paved road? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you’ll love riding the wild burro trials and BLM roads of Imperial Dam LTVA. I’ve been here for only two months now, and I’ve discovered some favorite trails, …
The team has been blessed so far this season with no EMERGENCY call outs. Wonder why that is? Is it fewer campers or younger, healthier ones? Ours is not to question why but to remain thankful for this. Having said that, the team has not slackened it’s efforts to remain on guard at all times. The weekly meetings continue, emergency …
This is one of the worst flu seasons in years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). As of mid January, there are 60,000 confirmed cases nationwide, including 74 deaths in California. The flu shot is the best protection for you and the people around you.

Good morning” Ahh the mornings. Quiet, Bright, Fresh, Numb! I hate getting up but, happy that I made it. So much of the time the old noggen just don’t want to kick in.

It’s that time of year again. The time when a young man’s fancy turns to…No wait, that’s not right…It is the time for the Annual Cookie Drive.

The first Arts and Craft Show was such a big success that they decided to hold another one on the first Saturday of February, or if you prefer, February 3 from 10 to 2 at the Christian Service Center.

Our Liberry is still in a state of flux. We tried something new, which evidently most people did not like, so we are now in the process of reorganizing ourselves again.
