Concluding his series of creek walks, Chris Sollars and the Water Shed Crew don their personal floatation devices one last time to follow the path of Yosemite Creek from source to Bay. Carrying a piece of rope to represent the length of one city block and conjure the line of the hidden creek, the walk passes through the Bayview neighborhood, stopping at bodies of water, a nursery, studios and businesses along the way.

The walk concludes at Yosemite Creek for food and drink, the sunset and to ferry people to and from Water Shed, the floating raft that serves as the crew’s headquarters for the duration of Off Shore. Participants can join the walk at any point along the way (please allow for a 5-10 minute window along the route).
