Dog-Friendly Adventure!…read more Lake Shasta Caverns was the perfect stop on our road trip from Portland to San Francisco! We were thrilled to discover it's dog-friendly and our pup loved every minute of it. The location is ideal for a midway break, and late May weather was absolutely beautiful. We arrived 30 minutes early and found parking easily. The gift shop kept us entertained while we waited, and the boat ride across the lake set the perfect tone for what was to come. But the real star? The caverns themselves. The natural beauty and the opportunity to explore with my dog made this feel truly special. Fair WARNING: you will get your steps in! The climb to the cathedral room is steep, and my partner and I, who are gym-goers with an active dog, definitely felt it. That said, the views (and the bats!) absolutely make it worth it. I noticed some older visitors and those recovering from knee surgery opted out, and a few families with small children were cautious on the descent, so know what you're signing up for. The walk back down requires careful footing so please take your time and watch your step. The tour guide wasn't as polished as I'd hoped and leaned a bit too playful for our taste, but honestly? You're paying for the scenery, not the commentary. And yes, it's pricey, but it genuinely feels like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Overall, worth every penny and every step. Highly recommend!

Warning: If you are not in excellent and athletic condition, you should not go on this tour. There are hundreds of wet steep stairs in the caves. Then the long steep hike back up to the gift shop and your vehicle is torturous. Older people or people who have any physical limitations should rethink this tour.

It's basically an old aggregate plant that took stones from the Sacramento River and used a miles-long conveyor belt to send them to be used in the construction of the Shasta Dam.

I met Patrick Jones when I moved to Shasta County in 1995. Over the years we developed a friendship…read moreand I can say with confidence that I know him very well. Patrick is an intelligent, honest, hard-working, tenacious individual who has strong beliefs in God, The Constitution, The Bill Of Rights, Individual Freedom, fiscal responsibility, ethical governance, and governmental accountability. Patrick was born here in Shasta County and he has a great love for the area and its people. Due to his passion for the area, Patrick chose to enter local politics so that he could make a difference on the grassroots level and restore the great values and principles that he believes so strongly in. (The same values and principles I might add, that founded our nation). At the time of this writing, Patrick is a Shasta County Supervisor and unfortunately, Patrick's restoration efforts are very needed. The necessary recall of his fellow Shasta County Supervisor Lenord Moty is one example of a cleanup effort that Patrick is involved in. That recall effort has garnered massive support and at the time of this writing, it looks like it will be successful. God Bless Shasta Recall and God Bless The Red White And Blueprint Movement. As expected, Patrick has come under fire for his noble efforts. The attacks have mostly come from lying, conniving, deceitful, left-wing, mentally ill, degenerates who are filled with hate for traditional Americans like Patrick Jones. These anti-American and frequently treasonous turds...have no morals. To them, the end justifies the means, and they will stop at nothing to further their corrupt, twisted, left-wing agenda. They believe in big govt. totalitarian control and they would love nothing more than to impose their will and defame or silence people like Patrick. Their disregard for free speech, the right to bear arms, Christian religious liberty, due process of law, The Constitution, The Bill Of Rights, and Individual Freedom in general...is evidenced by their support of The Critical Race Theory, The Cancel Culture, covid mandates, covid shutdowns, and other forms of govt. overreach. One measure of success that can be determined is when you have managed to upset the corrupt, status quo. Patrick Jones is a great asset to Shasta County! PS. To any left-leaning clown who may take exception to what I wrote above...please remember to follow the left's modus operandi. You must go ahead and call me a white supremacist, a racist, and a Nazi. Never mind the fact that there is ZERO evidence to support those absurd claims. Don't let that stop you. Remember that you don't care about the facts. Just push forward with your left-wing agenda like the good, twisted, mentally ill sheep that you are.

This vista point is not the traditional vista point that one would normally run into off most highways, as it's a little bit of a drive off of the highway and not a quick turn-out. Once you find it (look for the first gravel road to your right as you exit on Moose Camp Rd) you'll be able to lookout onto the area that was once devastated by the Camp Fire that roared thru here in Aug, 1992. That fire destroyed 100 sq. miles (64k-acres), 300 homes--and, surprisingly, took zero human lives. Altho, I imagine untold number of wildlife perished. It's honestly not much to look at now nearly 30 years later, as its just a bunch of trees. I waffled between two or three-stars, but it is nature and there is historical precedence so I will bump it up to 3-stars.

I have ordered six times from Amazon and the Shingletown post office has failed to deliver five times. They use reasons like "attempted delivery", "no access to porch", one inch of snow, and on and on. If the Shingletown post office had any hiring standards at all the entire delivery crew would be fired! FedEx and UPS were great at delivery with Amazon purchases. Now that Amazon has chosen to ship with USPS I will be cancelling my Prime membership as this post office and their delivery personnel must be on "crack" or something worse.
