Shasta Cascade Area




It's raining here in Shasta Lake CA! I thought we were in Redding, but actually we are in Shasta Lake CA. north of Redding. Really close to a very large Reservoir and Dam. It's been raining off and on all morning. Feels really good. This park is a very pretty, quiet little site. Not really set for 43' pushers, but we got in a site. Had to move once to get where the satellite will work, but all is good. They even have coffee and continental Breakfast in the mornings. The sites are on a terraced hill and it might be a real deal getting out! We have a couple days to think about it. Weather said it was supposed to clear up this afternoon, so will wait to go to the lake and out and about til then. The trip up the 5 yesterday was pretty cool. The whole valley is ag related. Lots of orchards, mandarin oranges, lemons, pistacios, almonds, rice pattys, sugar beets along with some wheat and grapes. We traveled through the capital of California....Sacremento.....where on seeing a black limo heading to the airport, DH exclaimed, "It's Arnold! Hi Arnold!" I doubt it, but it was funny at the time. We have information on 101 things to do and see here in the Shasta Cascade area. We will probably just hit the high points in driving tours. A friend of ours back home was in a very serious car accident a couple of days ago and is in the hospital. We need to get a get well card off to him and pick up some other incidentals. I saw a sign for Sonic Drive In coming through Redding yesterday. We'll do that for lunch one day. DH needs his Strawberry limeade fix. We had lunch at a local diner and OMG....it was good! Most of the time if ya patronize the local small businesses you will not be disappointed, because they try so hard and need the return business and good reputation to make it. The clouds didn't go away, but I got some good pictures of Lake Shasta and the surrounding area. We did our shopping and came home. We're gonna do some more looking around tomorrow so stay tuned!
