“Spirit of the Stanislaus

On Sunday, June 7, about 150 veterans, friends and fans of the Stanislaus River came together in Angels Camp to celebrate the spirit of the river and the decade-long fight to save it.

The open picnic at Utica Park in the home of the Jumping Frog featured live music from local band Still Bill, fresh salad and risotto "river plates" from Lila and Sage catering, a solar powered band stage provided by Sol Sierra, and a plethora of memorabilia and archival clippings of the Stanislaus River's days as the West's best whitewater run.

Mark Dubois and fellow FOR organizers including Alexander Gaguine and Melinda Wright attended the gathering, sharing their experiences and memories of the river's better days. A highlight was the presence of Don Briggs, a river guide and filmmaker who was involved in the grassroots efforts, and the screening of his 1979 movie “Parrott’s Ferry is the Limit” during the evening show. (See the preview on YouTube.)

The showing of historic and contemporary films included the recent IMAX film “Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk,” on donation from MacGillivray Freeman. Friends of the River (FOR), was the event’s primary sponsor, along with O.A.R.S. and other local outdoor companies including Zephyr Whitewater, All Outdoors and SNAC.

Stay tuned for a video report and images from the Spirit of the Stanislaus gathering. Thanks to all who attended, and we hope to see you Oct. 16 at FOR's California River Awards.

 

Local press coverage included articles in the Sonora Union Democrat (see cover of their Weekender insert above), two articles in the nearby Stockton Record (one on Mark Dubois, one on the fishing issues of the Stanislaus), and the Avery's Mountain Chronicle among other Sierra foothills blogs, weeklies and calendars.
