Welcome to Sciots Tract - Page 5
We have a web page which has a camera that shows the snow depth each ½ hour of daylight during the winter. It also shows the temperature and has a windsock. The web page has a tremendous amount of links to other things of interest such as Doppler Radar, ski resorts, earthquakes, road conditions, photos from around camp and the schedule of events. The web address is: sciotscamp.org.
The tract has a monthly newsletter during the summer season – April through October. The newsletter gives the details of the events and keeps the cabin owners informed of items that are of importance to them, their cabin, the tract and the forest.
Sciots Tract has T-shirts, sweatshirts, aprons and caps available. They all have the tract logo on them. There also is a cookbook available with the favorite recipes from the cabin owners. A history was written about the first 75 years of the tract, along with group photos taken in 1924 and 1996. A few of the cabin owners are in both photos. Forty-eight of the cabins in Sciots Tract have a preliminary historical rating between 4-6 in a survey conducted by Eldorado National Forest.
All of the maintenance of the roads, bridges, water system, clubhouse and playground is preformed by the cabin owners. There is a yearly association fee of $100.00 plus one days work. Even the work day is an event at Sciots Tract. The widows and spouses of the infirm help prepare a lunch for the workers. Some workers come just for these exquisite lunches.
The comradery in Sciots Tract is so great that many of the cabin owners meet the first Monday of the winter months for breakfast, down in the Sacramento Valley where most have their permanent residences.
We at Sciots Tract appreciate and revere the magnificent surroundings of the tract. We feel we must take care of the forest and streams so that generations to come may enjoy this wonderful area. There is no place on earth like Sciots Tract.
