Yep Frenchie, that's the place. More info here: http://goberryessa.com/maps/
""From San Francisco: Take Interstate 80 East to Vacaville. Get onto 505 North to Winters and take Exit 128. Turn left at the light, and continue 16.9 miles to Wragg Canyon Rd. Turn right and travel 3 miles to the entrance gate.""

A shorter route is Suisun Valley road out of Cordelia, turns into Wooden Valley Rd., turn right at Monticello Rd.
Remember to practice safe knots, because big fish don't just break your line, they also break your heart.

Oh yeah absolutely.  I wouldn't go 505 to 128 if I was coming from SF. Maybe from Sac...

Agreed... Susuin Valley Rd to Wooden Valley Rd is the most direct route (albeit windy). I was just copy&pasting the directions from the Berryessa website.

Pat is just trying to reduce the competition by having Frenchie run out of gas.  :smt044 :smt044 :smt005

Pole pole nd I are pa cking up today and leaving 1st thing in the morning.

I've got tents, tools, coolers, swag rods reels, etc etc etc.  Allen muchthe same if not more.

What we do not have is firewood.....???

Hoping someone might have a stash they can bring in the back of the pickup, especially anyone arriving on Friday?   also need additional power strips multi plugs, and remember to bring any accessories you might want to mount on your Yak.  WE'll be prepared to cut and drill and all that.  And even fix and repair dings, holes and gouges, so bring the "Brother in Law" kayak that leaks.  WE'll fix it, or YOU can fix it with the stuff we'll have there!

My car is half full with hotdogs, chips, and water for lunch at the festival ... on us.  Quantity limited to the first 150.  Hah!

And don't forget to bring a chair down to the festival area for the Saturday evening potluck.  Bring a table too if you have one.
