Your nice pictures help me to describe the temple. Mine taken at last year’s Bomb Day were too blurry.
BTY the gravel on the opposite riverbank is actually old “tailings” or discarded ore that were dumped into the South Yuba by hydraulic gold mines during 1860′s to early 1900′s (causing big floods to Marysville). If you have a chance, go visit Malakoff Historic Park in Nevada County. There’s a mini man-made Grand Canyon created by hydraulic gold mining.
I hoped you also visited Oroville. It’s about 17mn drive North from Marysville. It has a beautiful 19th c. Taoist temple and museum.
Cheers,

Anne
