assess if we can have a fire, spin fire, etc…it may be too dry.
-We have a fragile plumbing system. Do not plan to shower. Please pee
outside…only use the toilet when necessary. It may take a couple of
flushes.
-There are rattlesnakes around the house…be attentive when walking,
careful if barefoot.
-There are some small patches of poison oak around the house. Ask and we
can help identify if you don’t know it.
-We will dance as long as we can…if we deem the music is too loud…we may
not go until dawn to avoid offending neighbors.
-Please check in about where to park when you arrive.
-No shoes in the house, please.


Directions To The Flying Spur 209 379-2826 (Heather)

>From Hwy 120:
Enter Yosemite National Park. Be prepared to pay a $20 entrance fee.
Drive for many miles stuck behind bad drivers moving painfully slow. Pass
signs for Crane Flat. Here Hwy 120 goes left up toward Tuolumne Meadows.
Stay straight, following signs to Yosemite Valley. The distance between
the Tuolumne 120 turn off and the Foresta Road turn off is approximately
5.7 miles. The road winds downhill through dense forest that eventually
opens up. Once it starts to open you can see down to your right an open
plateau that burned in 1990. That is Foresta. The only possible right
turn (besides Foresta Road) in this 5.7 mile stretch is for the “Big
Meadow Overlook”. Keep driving and look for a small brown sign on the
right side of the road that says: “Foresta”. It comes up quickly. If you
come to a tunnel you just missed the Foresta turn.

>From The Start of Foresta Road:
Drop down into Foresta. Stay on the main paved road. As the road flattens
out you come to a fork. It’s dirt to the right and paved to the left.
Stay left on the pavement. Pass a message board. Pass the Foresta
Firehouse on your right. (There’s a payphone at the firehouse if you
can’t find the house and can’t get cell reception) Stay on the main paved
road as it winds past the firehouse and over a small bridge. After the
bridge take your second right. There is an A-frame house on the corner
with a large propane tank in front. There is a sign post with lots of
names on it but the top of the post reads: “Dana Way”. Turn right onto
Dana Way. This is where the road turns to dirt and gets a little rough.
Low clearance vehicles make it fine, just drive slow. Drive up a hill
past some driveways and turn right onto First Street. This comes very
quickly. Follow First Street for a couple minutes as it winds around and
you come to a fork. Go left at the fork and drive up a hill. At the top
of the hill there is a left turn. (It is about a mile from First St to
the turnoff). Take the left turn. There is a pink faded flamingo, a sign
that says: “road closed” and another that reads: “not a rough road”. This
is the worst section of the road so go slow. Follow this road down to the
Flying Spur (about .5 miles). It is the first and only house you come to.
Turn off your stinky car, get out and breathe some fresh mountain air.
Please check in with someone about parking so we can make room for all.

** Note: Foresta is a small community of employees and renters…please
keep this event low profile so we can continue to have them in the
future…Be respectful and quiet on your way in…then we’ll boogie down.

** Also note: HWY 140 is closed due to a rockslide so you cannot access
El Portal from Merced or Mariposa. Tioga Pass should be open.

*** Also, Also: carpooling is recommended, AND, again, please drive slowly
and respectfully through the community of Foresta.

****Also, Also, Also: we’ll be asking for a mandatory donation to pay for
the time and expenses of the musicians. Most likely $15-20. There will be
mixed drinks and keg beer available for purchase(donation).
