Oh beautiful Shasta

Last weekend was spent at Shasta Lake with my family, cousins and my brothers' friend, Casey. Shasta Lake was absolutely peaceful; however, with the serious drought affecting California, the lake levels were lower than what they used to be. Despite that, we still had a lot of fun!




Our first night on the lake was spent trying to find a decent place to dock. We first docked by a shallow area, and we ended up moving the boat to a better location. When that was done, we had dinner with a lovely sunset in the background.




The following day involved fishing and spending time on the boat's slide! The slide was intimidating at first, but it was a blast. Plus, the water was very inviting.




My cousin and I spent a bit of time exploring the bit of land our boat was docked on. As beautiful as Shasta was, it was a bit of a downer knowing that the drought has really affected California.





Our night life in Shasta consisted of a bonfire and (several) failed attempts in making smores.




This year's summer trip was a blast. Shasta Lake was a beautiful place. The clouds seemed to fit in perfectly with the mountains and the water. Shasta, I will definitely miss you.
