Lake Almanor, California 2017
Shot with DJI Phantom 4 and Inspire 2
Christmas at Chester / Lake Almanor, Calif. 11/26/2010
This is a pleasing - but VERY brief - parade of holiday vehicles heading eastbound on Main Street (State Highway 36), starting at 8:09 p.m. PST, as taken in front of Holiday Market in mid-town Chester, Calif. November 26, 2010. It was a cold night, with temperatures in the high-20s as the cars passed by.
A few minutes after my video ended, I joined the line of cars behind that second CHP vehicle where a mile later, those parade vehicles turned around
and went westbound on Main Street. The majority of parade gawkers were on the east side of town, where local businesses stayed open later than usual to take advantage of Christmas In Chester.
Earlier that evening, Santa arrived via Chester Fire Engine at the Almanor Basin Community Resource Center, with young children waiting patiently in a long line (not bad for a town of just over 2,300 populace!) to have their picture taken with Santa. Hot chocolate, cookies and coffee were in plentiful supply.
Chester excellently demonstrates a dying type of Americana - people engaging in a true sense of community.

Lake Almanor Water Levels
As the days get hotter and the sun stays up longer... nothing says summer vacation like a trip to the lake. Action News Now Reporter Rick Carhart made the drive up to Lake Almanor in Plumas County.. to see if the drought has left any water in its wake.

We're all well aware that the North State is in its second year of severe drought. The signs are everywhere, with water rationing being talked about statewide, and the official start of fire season a month early.
PG&E spokesman Paul Moreno says, we didn't have much water left over from last year and we didn't get as much precipitation in this wet season as well, so lakes throughout California are low.
But one glance at this beautiful mountain lake will tell you that the water hasn't completely disappeared.
Plumas Pines Resort Manager Todd Geer says, Almanor is the top of the food chain when it comes to water, therefore if you look around we have lots of water and not nearly as bad as the other lakes around us.
Lake Almanor is owned by PG&E, and it's primary purpose is power generation. The company gets an estimated 10 to 15 percent of its power from hydroelectricity, but so far they have been able to get by using other sources.
Moreno says, we have been saving water in our reservoirs so we can keep them as full as possible before the start of summer so we'll have water available for downstream use and for power generation.
Good news for businesses and boaters alike. Bob Kopernik discovered Lake Almanor over 30 years ago, and he liked it so much he became a fishing guide. He's seen the lake go up and down over the years. He says there is one landmark that all the locals know.
Kopernik says, when you look at Goose Island out there... You can see about 3 1/2 to 4 feet of the island, so we know that the lake is down 6 or 7 feet.
And that means the lake is still 85 percent full. With just under one million acre-feet of water inside 52 miles of shoreline, plenty of room for vacationers.
Geer says, we've got lots of beaches, lots of flat water, plenty of coves to ski in.
Another advantage Almanor enjoys is it's location. Sitting at the southern end of the Cascade Range - which is composed largely of volcanic rock - the lake gets about a third of its water from underground springs, so it's more drought-resistant than lakes in different geographic regions.

Whatever the reasons Lake Almanor holds a special place in the hearts of those who come here.
Kopernik says, it's a beautiful, beautiful lake, the water is clean... We love it, we try not to tell anybody.
PG&E also owns Bucks Lake between Oroville and Quincy. Moreno says Bucks Lake will have plenty of water this summer as well.
Scenic Hop 4 Part 2: Flying from Lake Almanor to California Delta
This is aerial video of my return trip from Mount Lassen. The flight begins at the Chester Airport. The flight has scenic or notable views of Lake Almanor, the Feather River Canyon, Lake Oroville, Beale Air Force Base, Sacramento Int'l Airport, the Sacramento River and the Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta. The flight outlasted the camera battery as expected, ending the video as the flight is descending into the Bay Area. The camera is angled slightly to the right and down in order to keep the propeller and wing out of the view.
This is Part 2 of 2. You can see Part 1 (Mt Lassen) at
The entire video of the flight was shot with a GoPro camera, and is sped up 18x. The speed-up exaggerates movements of the aircraft, including turbulence. So even though the enroute segments aren't a handheld shakycam, an appearance of shaking is inevitable at times as an effect of this form of art. Also, there was turbulence over the mountains on this flight.
The music is Midnight Magic by Kenny G. The music will cause YouTube to put ads on the video - they are not my ads.
