APARTMENT in the TREES, California

Here the keen eye may see evidence of the many layers of human presence on this land, the Native Peoples presence was light but nearby an Acorn grinding rock, in the eighteen fifties Prospectors swarmed these hills and in the streams, large and small, left deep traces of their effort, the top of this hill was once known as "the wheat field'. Square nails and Horse Shoes sometimes turn up, cast offs of another time.

The constant here has been the forest, the "wheat field" is gone without a trace and tall trees grow in old campsites. The list of species that thrive here is rather long, for in normal times, this was a prime area for trees and shrubs to grow in. Plant identification information is provided at camp.

In a small clearing with tall Pines all around you may hear their song in the evening breeze, trees and hills mute other sounds in this isolated camp site. In addition to the Pines there are many other tree and plant species to enjoy. You're located in between the Yuba River and the New Bullards Bar Reservoir, so plenty of great access to water. The Ranch house where I live is a quarter of a mile away over a ridge or two and unseen in this quiet place. Deer and an occasional Bear may come by to see what you are doing in their forest. Back roads invite easy hiking while deep woods call the more adventurous. Please do not arrive after 8:00 pm unless you have coordinated a time with me prior to arrival. The sites are intended for tent camping so there is no access for camper vans except for very small ones.

Currently seeking funding through GoFundMe at yuba-canyon-vistas to enhance your camping experience through additional hiking trails and more. If you care to donate. Thank you.
