The Confluence Spring 2002

News from the Auburn State Recreation Area Canyon Keepers

The Canyon Keepers are preparing for their fourth summer at the confluence. They have also been active in recent months with meetings (with guest speakers), monthly hikes and trail building (working on the new connector trail between upper and lower Lake Clementine Roads) and maintenance. This year an extra day of training for current members will be held in April focusing on ways to present information for both children and adults. Special Instructors will include Evan Jones, Ernie Riley and Rich Silver.

The Canyon Keepers will be taking over responsibility (from Ranger Mike Lynch) for presenting guided historic bridges walks from the confluence and will conduct several tours during this year's Confluence Festival. Additionally, good progress is being made on a series of trail guides for ASRA as well as development of a self-guided walk covering the historic bridges and flora near the confluence of the North Fork and Middle Fork of the American River.

Anyone interested in receiving a schedule of upcoming meetings and hikes, or in more information about the Canyon Keepers can call:
