I heard this from a friend recently that they paid $30 at the gate to go to Lake Yosemite. I'm trying to look that up on the MID page but they only show fees for last fiscal year. When I follow their links to buy a day use pass it takes me to Lake McSwain, which is advertised as $30.

That's so expensive thats inaccessible for most. You might as well go to Yosemite National Park at that point.

Apologies if you've seen this elsewhere - this is the most current version with lots of suggestions from other redditors.

I'm making a map of California in a classic fantasy style (sorta Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones). It's going to be filled with real world history and mythology, with the aim of highlighting local landmarks in a fun and educational way. Please ignore how rough parts of it look (text going through hills, rivers, etc), it'll all get cleaned up at the end. Forests will be going on at the end too.

While it's around two thirds done, I'd love to get more places and features in here before I get this made into print. Any more petroglyphs, burial mounds, ruins, forts, battlefields, Civil War heritage, ghost towns or the like that you think should be on here? Anything else is great too - landmarks, natural features, mythological creatures or just anything cool and quirky you think would look good on here. Thanks!

Bonus questions: Are there any decent dealers that don’t advertise online? Are there any dealers I should avoid?

P.S. I am open to rebuild/salvage titles.

Just wanted to share in case anyone is looking to go to Yosemite this summer or the coming winter season.

Merced and Mariposa County residents can apply for a free roundtrip YARTS voucher. There is also a Student Explorer Program that offers free roundtrip tickets to college, university, or vocational school students (anywhere in the world).

You'll need proof of residency for the resident voucher, and proof of enrollment in a college for the student program.

For more information, as well as the forms, you can go here: Special Programs

Happy to answer any questions you guys might have  :)

I’ll be in the area for a while and want to do some shopping. I am more into that vintage style type of clothes. Thank you in advance.

Got tickled on my elbow walking out of the gym

Anyone shopping at Vallarta regularly? How do their prices compare to other grocery store’s in town? It looks amazing!

Seems like they closed the parking lot entrance at the mall next to Olive Garden. Is it for the raising canes construction? I heard it might just be adding more parking capacity.

Hello everyone. I’m having a massive problem with my neighbor's large dog. They got a Doberman, and it’s full-grown now. The problem is they never have it on a leash, and it runs around the neighborhood physically chasing people and barking aggressively.
I’ve owned big dogs all my life, and I know some dogs bark, but this is full on aggression. Just today, it chased a small boy who was screaming and crying. Tonight it chased three teenage boys across the street. The owner, a young woman, didn't run and grab the dog instead, she laughed and yelled “It’s friendly,” even while the boys were saying, “Get your dog, it’s not!”
I’m at a loss for what to do. The family is aggressive, and asking them to put the dog on a leash just causes them to let it out more or try and fight whoever they think called. They used to have a violent Chihuahua that they would leave out all day and night which would also chase people. But it was small enough that you didn’t feel like you were in too much danger, but one day it just disappeared and was never seen again.
My neighborhood is full of small children who play outside unsupervised, and I genuinely fear for their safety and mine. With my health conditions, I cannot run and cannot get a full grown Doberman off of me. I’m going to call animal control and ask what can be done, but I don’t think can can do anything until it bites someone, which will be very soon. I’m scared to walk my own dog, as the Doberman is aggressive toward people and animals, and I’ve seen that the owner will not grab it.

Remember when I posted about doing crafts and watching true crime together?

Well, I moved. And now I have this kick ass house. Do yall wanna come over and do some crafts and watch maybe a new case or a case you've been following?

Im thinking this coming Friday? Who's free? This one will be for the girls and theys

Hello! I'm looking to take my kid out rock hunting in the area, and am looking for suggestions on where to go. There's nothing specific I'm looking for, but jasper, agate, quartz and chert would be fun.

I'm hoping to find somewhere reasonably close (under 45 minutes), and relatively safe. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I've had a lot of trouble with neighbors and friends' teenage kids flaking out on taking care of my cats when I travel. Can anyone recommend a professional pet sitter?

Is anyone or know anyone that is missing a male German shepherd? Has a blue collar and black harness

Bluebell decided she wanted to venture outside. Her wings are clipped but she powered through and flew to the creek. She was last seen flying around where Donna and Claro Court meet. Right at the entrance for “Duck Creek.”

She’s friendly but easy to scare. Her favorite foods are apples and bell pepper. She may just fly to someone and land on their shoulder.

Please text 209-631-6720 for any sightings. She’s about the size of a pigeon and sounds like it when she flies.

How is the food at Cousins Corner? Do they only play rap music?

Hi all! Looking for some help here, I need a tooth extraction + implant and got a referral for ABC dental. Theres 0 reviews on it pretty much so coming to Reddit? Has anyone gotten a tooth extraction here? How is it?

I’m skeptical because any referral I get through MediCal to the valley, most of the places are 1 stars with 100+ reviews. I don’t want a botched job as this is a complicated extraction. Thank you!

ATWATER, CALIFORNIA.

Banana car rides this weekend.

As part of the "World Needs More Whimsy Grand Tour" the Big Banana Car is in town and will be giving rides at Fosters Freeze on N Winton Way.

Saturday (18th)

Noon until 8pm

Sunday (19th)

Noon until 8pm

- Take a ride.

- Pay what works for you.

- Bring car seats (if legally required in a regular car).

- Wear yellow gloves so that your fingers look like tiny bananas.

- Weather permiting.

This is how I fund the banana cars travels but I don't charge a set price because I don't want money to be a barrier to taking a ride.

See you this weekend.
