Shay’s Hole – Lassen County

It was one of those days, that I had a lapse of better judgment should have, but did not take a picture of Shay's Hole. However, about a mile down the road, we stopped to take pictures of these old railroad ties still in place.

Back in August on one of several excursions, it was the intent to check out Camp Harvey east of Poison Lake. Well, we did not quite make it there and found ourselves first traveling through Pine Creek Valley and onwards to Champs Flat.  At Champs it was decided to follow a particular road, to see whether it would take us north towards Camp Harvey.

Anyhow, following an old railroad grade of  the Fruit Growers Supply Company we came upon Shay’s Hole that was used to supply water for the Shay locomotives, that were an integral part of railroad logging.
