Hello friends, neighbors and prospective neighbors of the Mt. Shasta Vista Subdivision, near Weed in Siskiyou County California. 

I am a resident of the subdivision. I publish this site as a service to you and to me. I like to write. I like to take pictures. I like to help my neighbors.

I think there is a need here for a neighborhood "newspaper" - a place to share our experiences and views. Send me your "Letters to the Editor", your experiences while visiting or living here, your opinion pieces about what goes on here - whatever - I will publish it if I think it is something my readers would like to read.

This site can also serve us as an online "Neighborhood Watch". Are there vandals, squatters or marauding dogs causing problems in your neck of the woods? Lunatic drivers? Wild animals stalking your critters? Send me an email about it so I can give your neighbors a heads-up, and in some cases, forward the information to appropriate authorities.

This site does not reflect the views or policies of anyone other than myself. - Marjorie King, Owner www.msvpoa.com

About MSVPOA: 
Mount Shasta Vista Subdivision is situated near A12 and SR97 in glorious Siskiyou County California.  Blessed with spectacular views of Mt. Shasta, a vast array of wildlife and affordable, generous-sized lots, Mt. Shasta Vista Subdivision covers 6.5 square miles. We are almost entirely surrounded by U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands. Our 1641 2.3 - 2.5 acre lots are accessed by 64.5 miles of gravel roads which are owned and maintained by MSVPOA. Approximately 120 residences dot the subdivision. Most  owners - about 90 percent - live more than 100 miles from the subdivision. The Property Owner's Association was created in the early 1960's for the purpose of maintaining the roads. Although the directors of the association have chosen to take on other projects, such as an annual spring clean-up and weed abatement, and have attempted to update the CC&R's to expand their powers, the community has rejected these attempts, and road maintenance remains the only written commitment to the property owners.
Depending on the location within the subdivision, we are about 25-30 miles to Yreka, 15-20 miles to Weed, 25-30 miles to Mt. Shasta, 4-8 miles from Hwy 97, 4 miles n. of Lake Shastina, 18 miles east of I-5.  We are located along the newly designated volcanic legacy scenic byway http://www.volcaniclegacybyway.org/.
    
 
Emergency services are provided by Mt. Shasta Vista Volunteer Fire Company, a separate non-profit corporation contracted with Siskiyou County  to serve a 36 square mile area including and surrounding the subdivision, south towards Lake Shastina, north on Harry Cash Rd., and west to Rocky C Ranch Rd.  For more information about our wonderful fire company and the area it serves, please visit www.msvvfc.com

Mt. Shasta Vista Fire Company Auxiliary is a community group which supports the fire company by volunteering their assistance on fire company projects and by raising money for the fire company. After several years of little or no activity, the Auxiliary is now reviving under the considerable energy and ability of firefighter Jeri Jordan. They have recently contracted with Northern California Resource Center (NCRC), a non-profit, tax-exempt organization based in Ft. Jones, to adminster funds. Donations to the Auxiliary may be sent directly to NCRC but is it important that the Auxiliary be noted in the "memo" field of the check as NCRC serves many such organizations. The address is: P.O. Box 342
Fort Jones, California 96032. You may contact Jeri Jordan at fireauxiliary@msvvfc.com

Juniper Flat Fire Safe Council (JFFSC) is an organization started with a grant from the Bureau of Land Management by Chief Mary Cameron, Colleen Welch and me, Marjorie King for the purpose of mitigating the extreme fire danger throughout the fire district, an area that includes the subdivision and is about six times the size of the subdivision.
