Here is one section of historic U.S. Route Highway 99 which is usually under the water line of Shasta Lake when this reservoir is full. This portion only comes out of the water when we're in drought, and some of this historic route is still above the water line year round but is an oft-forgotten section of the route by locals who drive it regularly as motorist drive into O'Brien Inlet from Bailey's Cove. Today's water level is: 932.31-feet below full pool elevation. This video was filmed on August 27, 2022.
Welcome to Exploring Shasta County history... With this blog, I am bringing to life the stories of the early day pioneers and some of the oft-forgotten history of a bygone era in Shasta County, California. I'll also focus on important events after the turn of the 20th century. I would like to reflect upon current historical sites of the modern age as well. This is copyrighted by Jeremy M. Tuggle.
