Bernie,
Shasta Dam and Lake supply a lot of the water for Southern Calif. I live in Shasta Lake City and am 7 miles from the dam. The location is far Northern Calif., just 10 miles North of Redding. On map search use zip code 96019 for Shasta Lake or 96001 for Redding. Right now most of the water from Shasta and Wiskeytown Lakes is being used to fight the fires. Shasta Lake is also a huge tourist attraction, and every year at Spring Break, we get tons of college students from Oregon and other areas.
Lots of great mountian roads to drive on and the scenery is really nice. I have been trying to get Brent, (Flipper35) to come up and go driving but he prefers the flat, hot, sandy, desert.
