Bill,
The drought is that bad. We haven't had any rain to amount to anything for 3 years and last Summer they never even had to get out the big plows to open the highway through Lassen Park. They just used dump trucks with the small blades and had it open over a month before they can normally open it. Believe me they are not letting any more water out than they have to. Now they are talking of maybe having to shut down another one of the generators. That is one of the reasons we are having such a bad fire season and almost every day they are having another small fire that burns what the big ones missed.
Fred & Warren,
Bite Me. Sorry Jamo but that just seemed an appropriate expression for Frog & Turtle raising ranchers.
Actually in 1977 I got a Honda buried way out in the middle of what was normally the lake as I was riding it across the mud flats to the river and it broke through. It took two of us to get it out and then the Bridge Bay Resort let me use one of their hoses to wash the mud out of the motor and off the rest of the bike. They thought it was funny but riding home with mud on me up to my waist wasn't all that pleasant.
