A Nice Couple From England
I took the 69 for a fairly good drive today and on the way home decided to go by the dam and see how low the water is. I stopped at the main observation point and there was an older gentleman and his wife there and I went over to talk to them and they are on vacation from England. A very nice couple and they just can't get over how wide open and much area there is around here. I spent quite a while with them showing them places and telling them the history of Shasta Dam. They both said that they had no idea of just how large the United States was until they started their flight from the East Coast out here. They had just driven up here from San Francisco.
The lake is very low and the sand bars are showing out in the center. I took a picture of some cars parked where the water would normally be around 50' deep if they come out. The sun was kind of at a bad angle but I will see later if they are worth anything.
