Omigod! That's THIS weekend! (Couldn't get onto the Cat for a few days and didn't really expect it to be back yet.)

Found out a few weeks ago I couldn't make it. Hope y'all have a great time, and if you do it same time next year, I'll make a point of making it if I can!

we are there-i can report back that the gathering is in porgress..
nice music cirle around the campfire last night. MOre merriment
expected tonite. some folks are hiking, exploring in the nearby forest and taking sceninc drives in the feather river canyon near by.
We have these localities represented: Santa Rosa, Berkeley, Georgetown,
Sacramento, and room for more! we will be there until 5 pm sunday.
Nicole has the draft of the cook book, and we are reviewing it--
it looks great..mouth watering!! we have guitars, mandolins, fiddles, bodhran, a stand-up bass, and fun awaiting...must get back to thew camp ground, just came to the house to check messages, water garden, feed pets, and get a few more instruments and supplies..and to report to the list!!
Oh-by the way, for Joe, and others who might be driving on hi way 7-0
north of Sacto, at the place where 99 & 70 split south of marysville,
there is a detour sign she said. It routes northbound traffic to 99.
There are several place where you can get back over to 70..prob. the best and easiest is to take the 149 cut-off road which is just north
of highway 162 . this takes you to hiway 70 where you go left to Concow road. you might call 1-800-gas-road, the cal trans road condition number, or go to the cal trans web site for info...
there is some construction in the canyon east of here.

Well, it looks like I didn't make it. We went to a Bar Mitzvah this morning, and it lasted a lot longer than we expected. I couldn't have left home until 6 PM, and that seemed to be a bit too late to bother.
I hope you guys had a good time. I'm sorry I couldn't make it.

Too bad, Joe. We didn't really get rolling musically until 8 or 9pm last night. Sory you couldn't make it.

Thanks again to Laurel for planning this. Probably my last weekend of fun before the move at the end of the summer -- it was a great send-off!

home again, home again, jiggety jog!!
What a wonderful weekend. How magic to
get together with so many previously
un-known people, now friends, and find
so much common ground! Thanks to the
Mudcat for allowing us to meet each
other!! We hope to do a repeat per-
formance next year, good lord willing,
and the creek don't rise!!
There were robins feeding their babies,
osprey flying over head, rufous-sided
towhees, canadian geese and a gaggle of
musicians. Thanks to all who came, and
contributed in so many ways!!
Same time, same station...Laurel
