Half Of California Freed From Drought Thanks To Rain, Snow

7. Because Lake Trinity is where my family goes camping every year in June.

Lake Trinity is the only one I'm familiar with and have personal knowledge about. For the last few years, camping at Pinewood Cove was so sad. The cove of Pinewood Cove ( a finger of Lake Trinity) was dried up. We've been going there every year for 20 years, ever since we got married and had our son. And my husband has been going there since he was a kid. As the rains came this year, I've been keeping a tab on the lake level, but it has risen only a few percentage points to 33%. It's so disappointing.

Lake Trinity Marina and the folks I know who work there have been devastated by the drought. It's not worth renting a boat on a shrunken lake, so their boat rental business and services have taken a huge hit. There aren't many other jobs up there.

That's why. It's personal to me. Sorry if that bothers you so much.
