Arastraville School and 3-Links RV Park

Long Barn, CA

    On my way back from a visit to Carter's Cemetery in Tuolumne I stopped to take a photo of the Arastraville Elementary School. In checking for information about it on-line I noted that it was located in Cherokee, long an indian settlement on the northern edge of Tuolumne.
    But the Cherokee Tribe is from the south-eastern U.S. Check below for a link to "John's Place" for an explanation of how Cherokees ended up in California instead of Oklahoma.

Three Links RV Park [aka 3-Links Camp]

    When built in 1958 the entrance route to the IOOF/Rebekah Camp was via Wheeler Road off of SR108 just before a climb to the exit to Long Barn. However, now the entrance road is located directly across SR108 from the Lyons Dam Road. While the manager said they could handle RVs up to 40 feet, I'd suggest trying elsewhere if your rig is longer than 28 feet.
    Best of all, the price for a full hookup is only $20. The rest rooms and showers were reasonably clean; and the showers have 2 handles, which helps avoid scalding U-know-what with hot water or spraying your south side with cold water. There is also a coin laundry.
    Even though 3-Links Camp is closer to Sierra Village than to Mi-Wuk Village, there is no post office in the former; hence, 3-Links Camp's mailing address is Mi-Wuk Village, where the post office is near Mi-Wuk Community Center; there's a library there with 24/7 WiFi.
