Directions to the wedding

Above is a very general, out-of-scale map to the wedding and reception from cartographer Dan Borlik.  Addresses are below, if you'd like to Mapquest it.

Wedding: St. Patrick's Catholic Church, 235 Chapel St, Grass Valley, CA

Directions to the Church from Highway 49: 

1. From Sacramento, take I-80 to Auburn (the city, not the road).  In Auburn, take highway 49 exit to Grass Valley/Nevada City.  Stay on 49 until you get to the City of Grass Valley.
2. Take Highway 20 exit towards Yuba City, turn left over the highway. 
   
3. Merge to the right, and take the Mill Street Exit.
   
4. You should be next to Paco's Tacos.  At the stop sign, turn left onto Mill Street.
   
5. Drive north on Mill Street until you get to Neal Street.  Turn left.
6. At the stop sign, turn left onto Church Street.
7. Drive straight on Church.  St. Patricks is at the end of the road. 
8. Park in the parking lot on the corner of Church and Chapel (in front of Mt. St. Mary's School).  Other parking is available by turning left onto Chapel, taking the first alleyway to the right, and parking in the lot next to the church hall.

Reception: Hideaway Park, Lake Wildwood, California 95946

To get to Hideaway Park from St. Patricks:

1. Get into your car.
2. Drive down the hill on Chapel Street.
3. Merge onto Mill Street, headed towards the highway. 
4. After stop sign, take on-ramp onto highway 20, towards Yuba City.
5. Drive down the hill a long distance, turning right at the second stoplight (where the Chevron is) at Pleasant Valley Road.
6. Stay on Pleasant Valley Road until you reach the second gate of Lake Wildwood, which will be on the right.  Don't go into the first gate, or it will get too confusing.  The second gate is on the right just past the spillway/dam with a vista of the lake.
7. Pull up to the guard shack, and tell them who you are and that you are guests for the Borlik wedding.  Your name will be on a list provided to the gate staff.
8. Stay on Wildflower Drive until you get to Lake Wildwood drive (the first stop sign).  Be sure to drive the posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour.  Lake Wildwood strongly enforces that limit.
9. Turn right onto Lake Wildwood Drive.  Dan's parents live on Foxtail Drive, which is the first street to the left, if you need to go there.  If you are going to the Reception, STAY ON Lake Wildwood Drive.
10. Drive until Laurel Hill Loop, and take the Loop down towards the lake.  There is a sign saying "Hideaway Park" on Lake Wildwood Drive.  If you get to a bridge over the river, you have gone too far.
11. Parking might be hard to find.  There are several parking spots at the park, but quite possibly not enough.  If you need to park on Lake Wildwood's streets, please pull all the way past the fog line, and do not block driveways.
12. You will not be able to miss the Reception.  The park is small, but should be a great venue.  Hope to see you there!
