Question

What about the kids?

Answer

The more the merrier! There are plenty of kid-friendly activities in the Sierras. The most popular activity for younger kids is playing in Sand Pond. It is shallow and warmer than the other lakes. We will bring a bunch of fun floaties for our day at Sand Pond.

Question

What about my pup?

Answer

All fur babies are welcome. Side note: we’d rather not have a dog fight or dog bite attached to our wedding memories, so please plan accordingly. Dogs are not allowed at Sand Pond but welcome everywhere else.

Question

Where to sleep?

Answer

If you are planning to stay in the area, there are multiple options for sleeping arrangements. We will have some RVs and tents at our family cabin for whoever wants to camp there with us. If you have your own trailer and want to place it at our cabin, just call us and we will make plans to have you there. Space is Somewhat limited and no hook-ups other than water. There are several other campgrounds in the area you are welcome to reserve at Rec.gov, but by now, there are mostly First-come, First-serve only available. If you do want to try for one of those campsites, we suggest looking around Gold Lake, Sardine Lake, and Diablo campgrounds. In the 'Travel' tab, we included information on several other hotels and resorts nearby for those of you wanting more luxury and fewer bears! AirB&B is slim up in the sierras but you might get lucky and find one available.

Question

Cell phone reception?

Answer

There is none! That’s the whole point. However, if you should find yourself in need of a phone call or text, a bar or two can be found by the general store in Sierra City and at Basset’s Station.

Question

It’s a forest!

Answer

…where bears live, like, all the time. As do snakes and mosquitoes and so on. Not that we are trying to detour anyone from coming but if you’re unfamiliar with bear etiquette, please google “how to not get eaten by bears while at a wedding in the forest “. Here are some helpful tips: *Use the bear boxes if you are camping. *Do not leave any food or food bags in your car or tent *Secure trash in the bear proof trash bins around camp *They are probably more afraid of you than you are of them, so just chill
