We have added a few things on our new dot Net site to tie it all together in hopes that it can improve the quality of your trip and show you how special Eagle Lake is. We also hope it teaches everyone including those hired to protect her, to honor and respect her in ALL ways. See “About Eagle Lake”.

Lassen Volcanic National Park

Beneath Lassen Volcanic National Park's peaceful forests and gem-like lakes lies evidence of a turbulent and fiery past. The collision of continental plates here led to violent volcanic eruptions and the creation of twisted, hauntingly beautiful scenery. Last active in the 1910s, Lassen Peak is the park's centerpiece, towering over the surrounding dormant volcanoes here between the Cascade and Sierra Nevada ranges.

All four types of volcanoes in the world are found within Lassen Volcanic National Park. Over 150 miles of trails and a scenic highway provide access to volcanic wonders including steam vents, mudpots, boiling pools, volcanic peaks, and painted dunes.

Lassen Volcanic National Park is located in northeast California, about 50 miles east of Redding.



Momboosa Music Festival

The Moomboosa Music Festival Announces Headliner (Here's a clue, he was on Dancing with the Stars)

The Moomboosa Music Festival is building huge momentum moving towards the July 17 event.

We could not be more excited to announce this year's festival will feature one of the brightest and newest stars in the country, Chuck Wicks. A gifted songwriter and vocalist, Chuck Wicks made a compelling impression with his Top 5 smash, "Stealing Cinderella", the fastest-rising single by a debut country act in 2007. By the time his first album, Starting Now, was released in January 2008, he had begun a year-long 750,000 fan-packed tour opening for superstar Brad Paisley.

Expanding upon his musical talents, Wicks was a celebrity cast member of the eighth season of ABC's Dancing with the Stars. A Delaware native, Chuck was raised on a family farm, where he grew up loving a variety of music - from traditional country to R&B.

Chuck began a series of trips to Nashville, and early interest from record label RCA Nashville inspired a permanent move to Music City, where Chuck spent several years paying his dues, honing his craft, and learning - earning his place within the city's songwriting community and ultimately landing a recording contract with RCA.

He is currently finishing up his second album with a new single scheduled to debut this in May. For more information, please go to:
