I just wanted to let you know, I spent Monday with some old timers of Camptonville, Yuba County, California. No one had ever heard of St Josephs Bar in their local area, which connects to the North Yuba. They did suggest looking around Highway 50 which you could find on a map near Placerville. They thought it might be in that area. Good Luck please let me know if you ever find it. My Dad has gone through all of his old maps looking for it!
