Subject: RE: West Coast Mudcat Gathering Planning
The nearest town to the south is Oroville. the closest town as the crow flies is Paradise.. if coming from Sacto, yes go north on 99/I-5 to the place where 99/70 split and keep to the right on hiway 70. Then after Oroville, the hiway curves to the right and heads up towards the feather river canyon on the way to Quincy. After the 4 lane bridge over the west branch of the north fork of the feather river, which is a finger of Lake Oroville, the road climbs up past a scenic overlook spot. When the hiway turns back into 2 lane, there will be a left hand turn lane, right by the Dome Store, a.k.a. Canyon Lakes Mkt. This is Concow Road, and the campground is about 5-6 miles north of the Dome. All paved, 80 curves. Well, that is 80 to my driveway, maybe only 75 to the camp- ground.It is either called Lake Concow or Holland Camp- ground, and it is on the left across the road from the Fire Station #38, the nearest cross "street" is Ishi Trail. This is named after the "last wild Indian" Ishi, a man from the Yana Tribe who was taken to U.C. Berkeley by the Kroebers in 1911. The Concow, Yahi and Yana are all sub-tribes of the Maidu Nation, I believe. See you in a couple of months!
