The event is being held in Old Sacramento. Currently there is only 1
box in Old Sac. The plan is that a number of people will place boxes in
Old Sac within a few days prior to the event. It's about 5 blocks long
& 3 blocks wide, so everything will be walkable. When they did a
gathering like this at Golden Gate Park, things were so spread out, I
think people only got a few boxes, so they wanted to keep this one
small. Some of the boxes will be there only for that 1 day, some will
be left there after the event is over, some will be transplanted to a
new site afterwards. There will also be an event stamp, a special stamp
carved just for this event that will not be available anywhere else.

So are there boxes put out just for this event? Or do
we just look for the boxes already placed? Oh my gosh
it sounds like so much fun. Is it a large area where
we drive all around too?
Just trying to get an idea of what happens. I do not
live near Sac, but I did grow up in Woodland (nearby)
and my family still lives there. But, since I have 2
small children, driving down is hard, especially since
we will have just taken a week vacation April 10-17 in
Bend, OR, then back to Santa Rosa on May 16; it's just
so much driving, but I want to come so bad.
Thanks for all of the info. Hopefully I will be
meeting you in Sac soon!
