Redding is fairly "new" compared to the Good Guys and Reno, but it has
been growing fast and BIG. We're getting the crowd in from WA, OR, ID,
NV, down to the Bay Area, and getting better each year. The main is
Kool April Nites coming up next month. There is a lesser one in August
for Hot August Nites (hey, I didn't pick the names... ).

True Redding is HOT in the summer, (so is Merced, Mojave, Bakersfield,
and most other central valley cities and town) but surrounded by
mountains up to 14,162' to the west, north, and east. Major lakes rec
areas, rivers, and streams. Twenty minutes and you're climbing into
higher elevations and considerably cooler. We've had snowstorms close
the mountain highways in June and July. It's also become a big site
for Spring Break for University of Oregon, and U of Washington
students who come down and rent houseboats.
