Last weekend we went camping on the McLoud arm of Lake Shasta. It is about 2 1/2 hours from Susanville to the west. I-5 crosses the Sacramento arm. The lake is a man made lake created in the 1940's when they built Shasta Dam. The lake has 5 arms and several towns are under water as the valleys were flooded by the dam.
It's been a few years since we used the big family tent. But we got it up in no time!
The area is bear country so you have to put your food in a bear box. The chain has a key on it that you use to lock the door. Apparently bears haven't evolved enough to figure out how to unlock the door. :o) Give them time . . . .
