Sweet! thanks for posting this. I doubt i'll be able to make it out, but if someone could report back with some pictures, i'd love to see how this turns out!

I added a section for workshops if anyone has any input.

It's not quite a workshop, but the nevada city library has a 3d printing machine, as far as I know one of the first places in the country to have one for public access. If anyone is interested in learning that, it's there and free.

This sounds really cool. I wonder if I would be able to make it...

Whats the normal turn out? Would def be interested in going. Isn't that place by the bridge always packed with people though? Have yall had any problems with previous gatherings?

 

[EphemeralStick]

im looking at this on google maps currently. Is the south fork you're talking about where the Yuba splits into Rock Creek or is it somewhere else that i'm not seeing? Sounds like an awesome time, may have to visit.

 

[TheWindAndRain]

Just follow the directions and look at the map Ephemeral Stick. I dont know what rock creek is.

Because of California's recent exceptional drought and concerns from the South Yuba River Citizens League we ask that you please refrain from having any campfires at the river that are not in above ground stoves!

Please also consider that glass bottles have no place on the South Yuba and it is our responsibility to keep the river clean from litter. Trash cans are provided at the Highway 49 bridge parking lot. Locals work hard to keep the place clean for us, please return the favor.
