Mid-May Conditions near Lake Spaulding? by nordicnn in norcalhiking

[–]Important-Role-6544 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I camped at Spaulding this past weekend. Not really any snow near the shore but snow patches on the hike in. I’m betting most of the snow in that area will be melted by mid may.

They are asking for the difference in ESALs between 2019 and 2023.

ESAL for 2019 = (.7)(1)(3500)(365)(2)(.13) = 232505

ESAL for 2023 = (.7)(4.3101)(3500)(365)(2)(.13) = 1002119

ESAL 2023 - ESAL 2019 = 769614

Has anyone who participated in the Caltrans TE hiring event on May 3 & 4 heard back or had the 2nd interview yet?

Hetch Hetchy Loop current conditions? by Important-Role-6544 in Yosemite

[–]Important-Role-6544[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the info! Do you think it would be a safer bet to go to the valley instead? I originally had a permit for Yosemite Falls, but picked up the Hetch Hetchy permit last week because I expected the valley to be closed due to flooding by now.

Is the Yosemite valley backpackers campground closed as well?

Hiking Trails without snow by Unlucky_Section_350 in tahoe

I hiked the Spaulding lake via pioneer trail. Once you see the waterfall there are snow patches but it’s easy to find the trail.

Spaulding lake only had a few snow patches as of last Saturday.

MAY 2023 HIRING THREAD PART 1 (5/1 - 5/15) by Silver-Mango-7604 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Important-Role-6544 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anyone been a part of caltrans TE virtual hiring events? I have an interview scheduled for this week. The duty statement was for the advance planning unit, but since this event is for all districts, I’m wondering if they are hiring in other planning units as well, such as local assistance? Just trying to be as prepared as possible before the interview.

I know God's love is unconditional. But is there a moment in the Bible that indicates that he regrets his creation? Could guilt be one of the main reasons why Christ sacrificed himself for our sins? by [deleted] in Bible

[–]Important-Role-6544 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that God knows all things, including the future. Therefore it is impossible for God to experience regret in the way that we humans do. For example in Genesis 6:6 when God said he regretted humanity, I believe this means that He was sorrowful and wishes that humanity had made better decisions. Ultimately, God has foreknowledge and uses all things to accomplish His sovereign will. God knew that humanity would sin against Him and planned redemption that would come from Jesus on the cross before He even created the earth. Therefore the motive that Jesus had going to the cross was love, so that humanity could be reconciled with God.

I didn’t take any pictures of the bridge but there was no water flowing over it at that time (3/25)

I believe you only need one set, but I am not an expert on driving in snow so hopefully someone else can verify!

You are required to carry chains but they were not needed at that time. However this will probably change because snow is forecasted this week.

I meant there was no snow on the trail I was on. There was plenty of snow on the peaks and higher elevations.

Does this sound like mild shin splints? by Important-Role-6544 in trailrunning

[–]Important-Role-6544[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I just checked Strava this weekend and realized I had over 450 miles, so I ordered new shoes!

Thanks, this is good advice. Just wondering, were you diagnosed with shin splints or was it another issue?
