I have been there. I agree that there are some wonderful recording
areas there. Although I would also suggest Itasca State Park in MN
which is the headwaters of the Mississippi River and also has a
University field school, as an alternative site.
I can not say that the Loggers have a clue in Yuba Pass and they are
getting away with murder in a state where they can. They are way to
heavy handed and the skidder drivers I can not believe even have a
drivers license.
