July Plein Air
07/09/2025
9:30 am - 12:00 pm
Join the YSA Plein Air group at Jones Store on Wed. July 9 from 9:30 – 12:30. Jones Store is located at 39600 Beasore Rd, Bass Lake, CA 93604.
Directions from Oakhurst: Head North on Hwy 41 and turn right on Rd. 222. Just as you pass the entrance to The Pines/Duceys on your right, Beasore Rd turn off will be on your left. Turn left on Beasore Rd (also called 5S07) and follow its curves 14 miles to Jones Store (on your left and shortly past Cold Springs Summit).
Other: Carpooling is optional and arranged by each individual. Those who want to carpool or follow someone should meet at Big 5 at 8:45 am.
Jones Store ONLY ACCEPTS CASH and is famous for its pie and burgers, so bring your appetite and cash along with your art supplies! The parking area is dirt and slightly angled downhill. The bathrooms are located behind the store. There are views of cabins in the forest, a meadow off to the side, the store itself (inside and out) is rustic and picturesque, and the wildflower meadows are not far off if you want to venture out a bit.
Check the expected weather before you head up the mountain – it is usually at least ten degrees cooler up there than in Oakhurst. See you there!
