Red Bluff June 6

Another sunny day in California.
We had a leisurely breakfast then set out to explore Red Bluff.
Nice old downtown area, we strolled Main Street, stopped at a few antique shops.
We saw on the GPS that there is a Red Bluff recreational area with Red Bluff Lake so we decided to check it out to see if Mickey could have a swim.
Well, the lake is gone! It was created by a dam on the Sacramento River but they have opened the gates and all the water is gone. Apparently the people of Red Bluff aren't too happy about this, they liked their lake, used to have speed boat races on it, now it is just a big dusty depression .
Must be something about irrigation down stream, we'll have to ask my nephew Jason about it.
On our way back we spotted a food truck selling Mexican food so we stopped and bought some tacos for lunch, really good!

Hard at work !

We spent the afternoon outside reading with a couple of trips to the pool to cool off, 85 here today. It will be hard to leave, we hear it is still cool and wet on Oregon.
