Well, there's this article, from a month ago:

Bob Chard dug up the right person (Bob Lobdell, with the state Dept of Lands) to ask about the fairy shrimp, and they walked the area last week. Lobdell said there are no vernal pools. So we met with the council again tonight and they said "go". We goin'.
And here's how to get there: I5 to exit 40. If you were south-bound, turn left; if you were northbound, turn right. At stopsign, make a left. That puts you on 99-234. Go over that skinny bridge (eek) into Gold Hill; make a right on Dardanelles-234-SamsValley. Make your first right after the tracks, onto 4th-234-SamsValley. Drive a little farther, not even half a mile. Look to your right. You're there.
Yeah, this is a lot of directions for what's basically a "get off the freeway, jog through town, right over the tracks, head out of town, pull over by the river at the park". Sorry.
Want to work, anyone? Gabe, Jesse Bob and I will be there tomorrow (Tuesday) around 3:30, and again Wednesday around 4:30.
