1. Go 80 east past Sacramento (coming into Sacramento, make sure to follow the signs towards Reno--otherwise you'll veer off on the 50). Just follow the signs to Reno.

2. You'll exit on 49 (at Auburn) and take a left at the end of the off-ramp and go thru a bunch of lights towards Grass Valley. MAKE SURE YOU EXIT IN AUBURN! IT WILL SAY HWY 49 TO NEVADA CITY, GRASS VALLEY, PLACERVILLE. At the end of the off-ramp there is a light...take a left and continue through the stop lights of Auburn.

3. You'll pass thru Grass Valley then Nevada City...at Nevada City you'll see a turn-off for Downieville...turn left on this (it's still considered Hwy 49).

4. Now follow the windy, lonely Hwy 49 to Downieville...it's 45 miles...You'll go thru Old San Juan, Camtonville, Goodyears Bar...then arrive in Downieville.

After entering the town we are located behind 208 Main St. in Downieville on the riverside. We are located directly above and behind the Yuba Expeditions building (aka "Downieville Adventure Company"). It is a big blue building (like Boardwalk and Park Place color) next door to the Yuba Theater and across from the Grocery. The entrance is on the RIVER side (not the Main St. side).
