Murray's Mailbag: The miracle at Shasta Lake (and some sports stuff)

Related Topics: Shasta Lake, Sport, Nevada, Week

The Summer of Chris is almost over. This marks my last week of pseudo vacation before we plunge back into the 2018-19 athletic season, which basically begins July 24 with the Mountain West media summit in Las Vegas. So things are about to get going but aren't quite yet. Still, some solid questions for this week's Monday Mailbag as I return from a week houseboating at Shasta Lake. As always, thanks for the inquiries.

Long story that I’ll try and make as short as possible. How houseboating works at Shasta is you find a different cove every day to park your boat in and anchor against the lake’s banks, which are fairly steep and very muddy since the lake rim falls 2-3 feet per day as water is released from the dam.
