Schoolhouse Canyon Campground
12600 River Rd, Guerneville, CA 95446

4-7-13 update: I just confirmed with Ranger Chris that we are all set and a go for this year. He's excited to host us once again.

NEW THIS YEAR:
We are announcing the "Big Blue's Adventurer Award".

It's easy. This year, we'll note the miles on your bus in a spreadsheet. Next year, in 2015, when you come back to Bus City, we'll note the miles again. The one with the most miles wins each year.

Also Schoolhouse owns 30 acres across the street and a private beach just for the campground. It's just a five minute walk down the river trail. So bring your swim suits!

Thanks Thom, I  might need that.

Also great map, Big Blue. I am coming up day before to see the Tillamook buses in Santa Rosa and also thought I would explore the area since I am still looking for a place to rest my head after relocating from Massachusestts. Looks like Guerneville is more affordable. I will be interested to hear others' views on nice affordable places to live.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE! Apparently the railroad tracks are under construction as you get off the 101 onto River Road. It's closed to traffic. Details: http://sonomamap.maps.arcgis.com/apps/OnePane/basicviewer/index.htm...

So here is an updated map! The easy route is closed. Repeat: The easy route is closed!

Well with a tear in my eye I just to let you know that we will not be able to attend this great event. Our big Mastiff Wilson has allergies and has broken out with a rash on his face and the Vet wants him to stay indoors for awhile. We had such a great time last year and for you fist timers your in for a treat! BUSES,BUSES, EVERYWHERE!!! The other sad thing about this is you won't be having movie night and we are very sorry for that. Everyone have a great weekend and we'll see you at another event!

Kevin - we understand but we'll miss you! We'll start organizing the fall campout in Finnon after this weekend - so hopefully you can make that one! Hope Wilson feels better!

Unfortunately I am going to have to miss this campout.  I have been looking forward to this all year, but I bought a new boat and will be moving aboard this weekend.  Hope you all have a awesome campout!

Boat life? Nice...
