FROM THE WEST (S.F. Bay Area): Highway 580 to 205 to 120. Follow signs to Yosemite and stay on Highway 120. Ten (10) miles after Buck Meadows, turn left on Evergreen Road. Follow Evergreen Road seven (7) miles to Camp Mather.
FROM THE SOUTH: Take Highway 99 to Merced and exit at "G" Street. G Street goes out toward the foothills and becomes Snelling Road. Just after Snelling, make a left onto La Grange Road. This meets highway 132. Make a right turn and go through the the town of La Grange. When you reach Coulterville you should jog left, then right through the middle of town back onto J132 (used to be J20 also known as Smith Station Road). J132 ends on Highway 120. Make a right onto highway 120 and proceed approximately 15 miles, then turn left on Evergreen road. Follow Evergreen Road 7 miles into Camp Mather. Note, J132 is rather narrow and twisty, and may not be suitable for RVs, you may wish to go farther up 99 and take 120 west as above..
FROM THE EAST: Take one of the passes; Highway 80, 50, 88, 4,108 or 120. If you choose Ebbets, Sonora or Tioga Pass in the Spring, call Road Conditions to verify that they are open. If you take 120 (Tioga), go all the way through Yosemite to the North Entrance ('Big Oak Flats"), Just outside the park entrance, turn right (north) on Evergreen Road, follow it 7 miles to Mather.

Jamming 101 comes to Ashland, Oregon! At the last Kate Wolf Festival we met some wonderful folks from Ashland, Oregon, who asked us if we ever planned to bring Jamming 101 to their town. I said “I, um, well, no it’s not on our calendar yet…” Well, thanks to the wonderful energy of Ashland dance teacher Roz Schrodt, and her Ashland tribe, we will be bringing Jamming 101 to their town, on Saturday October 18th!The classes will be held at the beautiful Oak Street Dance Studio at 1287 Oak St.
