Cal-Shasta Club Inc - Paso Robles, California

David Allen Cordero

I grew up here on Cal-Shasta as a child and young man from the early 1970’s till I went into the military in 1987. Being stationed overseas definitely made visiting this place more difficult.

My grandparents, Tom & Evelyn Hord, were original members who built and owned property on top of a small hill that had a water tower next to the cabin, overlooked the lake and Oak Shores across the way. I believe the road is called Cage Irvin Road. They would eventually have to sell their cabin in the early 1990’s due to my grandfather’s health and the fact medical services were so far away.

I believe a fire destroyed this cabin and many others so I’m sorry to hear about that.

I believe my grandfather was the Cal-Shasta President for 1971 or 1972. I remember families such as the Osbornes, the Johnsons, The Shooks, The Marapoulis, the McMans, the Kings and so many other wonderful down to earth families, their children and so forth.

Such great memories for sure. From finding arrowheads near the launch ramp with my grandmother, to learning how to swim near our dock, to sleeping at night with the sliding door open so I could watch the raccoons and other animals come up on the balcony, listening to the wind blow through the trees during the day, the deer, birds and many other types of wildlife, learning how to ski, catching lizards, driving down to the dock early mornings in my Grandfathers jeep to fish and so on!!!!!!

Definitely a great place to grow up and live.

I miss this area so much!!!!!!!!!!!!

This place calls me back in my dreams so often that it’s now part of my dream and or bucket list is to hopefully one day get a chance to walk this area again.

I owe my grandparents and this place so much gratitude for how it’s inspired and transformed me into the man I am today.

God bless this place and the wonderful people who live here and manage the area. Keep this place gorgeous and tranquil at all costs!!!!!!!!
