My car club held a poker run today and I won with a full house (8-8-8-J-J). Here is a picture of my wife and me taken at Lake Shasta here in northern CA. She said that I was so lucky that I needed to go directly to a casino.

Nice car, nice scenery, and a nice looking couple.
Great hand for a poker run.
We rode in a motorcycle poker run a couple of weeks ago. My SIL had never rode in one before. He bought $10 worth of raffle tickets.
Won 7 prizes. My wife and I didn't win anything.

Sounds like you are living the good life my friend

Nice! Yes I indeed agree, that sounds like the good life to me. I can't wait until I can retire and have more time to enjoy my car, car people, and mother nature to her fullest. Congratulations and nice car!

Congrats,nice picture,I was wondering does Lake Shasta ever fill-up? I used to run up and down I -5 quite a bit back in the 70's,80's and 90's,seems like the level is always way down.I haven't been there for a few years,doesn't look much different.

Awesome pic. Thanks for sharing. The Shasta area of Cali is one of my favorites.

It fills up once in a while, but they keep letting it out to water golf courses and fill swimming pools down south. :rolleyes:

Shasta actually looks pretty full in that pic, when I went thru on I-5 in Sept. '08, it was much lower than that. 64elkynss

Great looking car

Thanks for the compliments, guys.

Doug, Shasta Lake fills up every few years. Our rainy season is October - May and the Shasta Lake area gets about 60 inches of rain in a normal year. During the summer months, a lot of the water is shipped to our southern neighbors (hah) and the lake level drops 150 feet or so. We are in the third year of a drought and really need a rainy winter. We had a storm last night and got 2.5 inches of rain in about 2 hours.

Congrats! I have only been in one - drew two kings to start off, and the rest were garbage. I may as well have been drawing baseball cards. It is still a good time though!

What did you win, if you don't mind me asking?

The prize for my winning hand was a $50 gift certificate to a local restaurant , two bottles of wine, 4 wine glasses, a photo album, a T-shirt and a couple of small items.

Thats a pretty good haul!

Thanks Clark,Northern Cal and Oregon have always been one of my favorite areas in North America.Enjoy the meal and the vino.:thumbsup:

Wine? Did someone say wine?

This stretch through Shasta and towns going north is a beautiful stretch. Fun to stop and see what is around. My dad helped run phone lines through the area way back in the 30's.

You want some wine, come up here to Walla Walla and tri cities. You're probably closer to the napa valley from where you are though.
