Once again I ventured from Magalia over to the Wild Mountain Faire at Lake Concow the hard way — down the canyon to the West Branch Feather River, across the river, up over Sawmill Peak and down the other side over to Concow. My one evening at the three-day fest, which grew quite a bit from last year, was fun. Aside from the bonfire and other interesting goings-on, I caught Mystic Roots, Hap Hapathaway, Spark 'n' Cinder, and reggae veteran Don Carlos. Photos by Alan Sheckter / AlSheck@comcast.net.
