Event Description
Train Spotting will return in 2013. We will be going back to the Feather River Canyon-Hallsted Campground in the Plumas National Forest. Hallsted has been refurbished and "improved" with new bathrooms with showers (!), a second path to the river, 7 sites now have electric hookups, sites are shifted around, there are new site furnishings, etc. There is also one pull-through site for a large RV. It sounds really nice but will be different from the forgotten little campground we are used to. Reservations now available at:
http://www.recreation.gov/welcome.do
The Historic Feather River railroad route runs on the opposite side of the river from the campground. Trains climb and descend the grade at all hours-you will be falling asleep to the rumble of the diesel engines and the squeal of steel wheels on the tracks. If you have never driven through the Feather River Canyon, it is a natural and cultural resource treat!

We've booked site 20! Excited to see you all again. If anyone needs to overnight before or after the campout nearby, we've got space in Chico.

Woody's Hot Spring Update: I spoke with the owners of the RV Park that runs the hot springs. The hot pools are reserved for the entire weekend by a wedding party. But if you get in on Friday or leave on Monday, you might be able to get a soak for $5.00. Check in at the RR RV park to pay the fee and get the plugs to the tubs.

Looks like we have at least half of the CG. Should be a fun event.
