Update: Plan is to meet at the Sierra Crossings Starbucks in Rocklin where bass pro shops is on the morning of June 8th at 930-10am.
We will plan to leave there around 1015am, getting us into the park around 1145-12pm.
The road is primarily paved until we cross the Yuba river and then it's well maintained dirt road, this is suitable for any Land Rover.
I plan to spend the afternoon in the park at the festival and the lake there letting my kids pan for gold and fish.
Thinking ahead for the summer, be good to get some Social Events on the Calender. Now this one has lots of options to add to the specific event. Leaving from Nevada City we can take dirt roads all the way into the park. There is also normal paved roads that get you there too.
This event begins at 11am and the water monitor is usually activated around noon. There's great hiking there, fishing at the lake on site and plenty of camping. Since a lot people could potenially come from a good distance it might be a great camping trip. Centrally located with lots to explore around the area.
One of the things I really enjoyed when we went was a hike down the Yuba River to Spring Creek Falls, gorgeous place that crystal clear blue/green water that the waterfall dumps right into the river.
Given the winter we are having the forest roads may be closed, so I'll put this up as a place holder and see what interest we get and start from there.
