EVENT RECAPS
In June we wrapped another impactful Johnny and Alex Trail Day.
Over 2 days, 135 volunteers and 17 trail leaders tackled these improvements and new projects:
The RRGCC joined Climb Time Oakley for their Bloc Party bouldering comp on August, 26th. The event was a hit!
UPCOMING EVENTS

Rocktoberfest runs thanks to the 100+ volunteers that help bring it all together.
If you are interested in volunteering, we'd love the help.
Volunteer for at least 3 hours and earn free admission & camping FOR THE DAY OF YOUR SHIFT.
Volunteer for 2 shifts on the same day or 2 shifts on different days (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday) you will have free admission & camping FOR THE ENTIRE WEEKEND.
** Traffic control volunteers will be entered into a free climbing shoe raffle. **

Miller Fork Parking Expansion
Our two major parking lot expansions are close to full completion and will be ready for another busy Fall season! Both are waiting on final top layers of gravel, but once finished will provide a significant increase in parking space to both the Miller Fork and Motherlode parking lots.
The parking lot on top of the Lode Hill is now FREE!
On top of the Lode hill there is a parking area, which is NOT associated with the RRGCC. If you choose not to drive down the Motherlode hill, then this parking lot is available. If you read our June Newsletter you may have seen some instructions regarding payment at this parking lot. However, after recent changes in ownership, this parking lot is now FREE! The lot is still not associated with the RRGCC in any way, so please leave the lot looking better than you found it.
Curious what the Coalition was up to 31 years ago?
Take a look at the newsletter from November, 1992!
See you at Rocktoberfest!
Have a great Fall!
