April 18, 2004:
After almost getting stuck in a flash flood just south of here (water almost up to the hood of my Jeep in one place), I rounded the corner and made it to Scotch Valley. The area was very well locked up - fence and pond keeping people out. I could see one of the buildings had fire damage. The person on duty at the lodging facility next to it did not know much at all about the ski area. The lifts seem to be in good shape from afar - chairs still on tensioned cables.
