H2O

Lately the rains have been coming down hard....a good thing since the lake is almost full now. It has been over 10 years since Shasta Lake has been full. Hopefully it stays that way for as long as possible but the demand for water from So-Cal is so great that usually it empties out quickly. Prior to winter the lake levels were 120+ feet below the crest. The other day it was 16 feet from the crest if that gives you an indication of how much rain Nor-Cal has gotten (North of Sacramento that is.....we are closer to Oregon than we are Sacramento). From my house I can take trails out to the lake for about 28 miles of dirt. Another benefit of the rain? Hero dirt!
