On a day in the middle of spring weather featuring snow showers, some sun, and more rain, Mary and I set our sights for Shasta Lake and the North/South Gooseneck Cove boat-in campgrounds. It turned out to be a perfect day. Cooler in the morning and sprayskirt appropriate for warmth, there was a light breeze in the morning and calm in the afternoon. We took the Lakehead exit and went to the lake road access where seasonal parking fees were not in effect yet, and parked on the bank. It was easy to get in the water with enough rocks to avoid or use; the water level is good. The campground is under two miles to kayak in to, with ROMTEC toilets, huge picnic tables and fire grates. The landing is local stone gravel on a mild slope, and the camping areas are small, but level. No water supply. The lake shore is steep in most places but the water level is low enough in other places to invite landing and exploring. There are things to be aware of: fast boats, rattlesnakes, and possibly poisen oak. We will have a meeting soon to discuss meals and transportation. Mary will send email with info.
Note the addition of two new features this week: The photo album, which of course will expand, and "The Learning Curve" for a list of available books for us to borrow locally -in progress. So, how do you like the site so far? Comments are welcome!
