Arnold, CA…The first string days with excessive heat warnings are in our future this week. It is also a nice time to remind people what a great area we live in because we have rapid elevation changes within just few minutes of travel time. Typically you can see a 20 – 25 degree change from the high country to the foothills. So if triple digits make you sweat then dipping your toes in Silver Lake, Lake Alpine or Pinecrest might be just the plan for you.
