Huge casino complex. Numerous parking lots. No signage or personnel directing folks where to park We chose to park our two forty foot rigs with toads, in one of the lower lots located between the two fire departments. This lot was completely empty and appeared unused. Although it was sloped in both directions, we found an area within this lot that would work well for both rigs. When we checked in with security we had to move, and the only lot we could use consisted of a small dirt parking area at very top of the resort (hence the referenced good views). While the views were nice, it was a real challenge to find two spots in this lot that would allow us to get 'almost' level. Smaller rigs would have no problem in this lot, but it definitely was not for larger rigs. We pleaded with several levels of 'higher ups' asking them to make an exception to their 'policy' to no avail. We were made to feel like they really didn't want RV's in their facility. It's a bit out of the way if your'e traveling the I-5 corridor, and certainly for us was not worth the detour.

RVs are welcome for overnight parking and camping. The usual RV parking lot is currently closed due to the construction of the new hotel tower, so they are asking RVs to park in the top lot. This is gravel, and slopes, but has a magnificent view out over the whole Capay Valley. We drove the toad down to the casino each time and used the free valet, but there is also a free shuttle. You can walk from the RV lot down the drive way to the road and flag it down, or just call the hotel desk. It runs 24 hours.
They still have the deal of getting $25 per person credit if you sign up for the players club. That buys two buffet dinners on a weeknight or one and a half on weekends. The buffet is excellent.

Security patrol met us shortly after arrival and escorted us to the uppermost car park where we found a reasonably level site, only needed a 2 inch board under one side, nice view overlooking the casino and valley.
Bus shuttle to casino approximately every 15 minutes - 24 hours, to return simply ask valet attendant to call shuttle. New members receive $25 card which can be spent on anything except gaming or alcohol - we had an excellent buffet dinner for two and when leaving in the morning used the other card for gas! Fuel station has only one entry/exit, so may be a bit tight for big rig with toad.

Stopped here for one night on our trip south to Palm Springs.
RV parking is North of the Casino close to the Fire Hall. The parking lot isn't huge but there was plenty of room for the 5 RV's that were parked overnight. The lot slopes two ways so no matter how you park you are going to have a job levelling your RV. The casino is a bit of a hike off I5 and very rough which gave everything attached to or in our trailer a good shake up. The lot was patrolled by security but no one stopped to talk. Casio gives new players a $25 credit for gas and food. Had supper at the buffet my card covered me and my wife with $1 left. Didn't use the Casino. Bought gas when the truck was unhooked would not attempt it with trailer or motor home. Overall good night's stay.

Cache Creek Casino at Brooks, California (N38 44.157 W122 08.622)
2-3 hours south-west of Rolling Hills is another Indian casino, officially called Yocha Dehe , it is located on Hwy 16, north off I-505, the freeway bypassing Sacramento from the north joining I-5 to San Francisco. Easy enough to find, Cache Creek is enough off the beaten path to eliminate most truckers. Becoming a theme of my casino camping career, I made a wrong turn en-route leading to an unscheduled tour of local farmlands. Roads were getting so small that I thought maybe they would run out in a field somewhere (a concern for me because I can’t reverse to turn around with the Jeep hooked up). Eventually I made a 10 mile circle and got back to the highway. On arrival, I parked in the south lot as it was large and fairly flat, although a fair hike to the casino. Once there, a friendly security lady told me that RVs should go to the north lot, around the other side. This I did and found a few other campers on a sloping, paved surface underneath the local fire hall. Using a single board under each downside tire and the air-levelling system, I managed to flatten out. Almost immediately, a shuttle bus arrived to take me to the casino. An excellent service, these continued all evening and for all I know, through the night. The buffet, at $11.95, was exceptional, as most of them are, so I pigged out and returned “home” to rest in my chair in front of the TV. The buffet is closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays. In total, there are 8 food outlets including a Chinese restaurant, steakhouse Grill, a deli, sports bar and others that I forget. New patrons to Cache Creek are given a $25 credit on their Player’s cards. Strangely, these are designed to be spent only on secondary services such as food services, gift shop, even fuel at the service station plus golf, but not for gambling. I didn’t totally understand the rationale here but happily chowed down two meals for free and then, in a fit of remorse, donated $10 to one of the slots. Golf, at $90 was a little rich for my blood, so I decided to pass on that. The course, just up the hill from the casino, appeared very picturesque. Cache Creek is the biggest casino that I have ever seen with slots and table games stretching to the interior horizon. It also has a huge, city sized parkade for valet-parked vehicles. Primarily it seemed to cater to an Asian market coming in tour buses, one presumes, mostly from San Francisco and also Sacramento, which is not far to the east. A local side trip takes one to an olive-oil plant run by the tribe. I was out of season but the opportunity to purchase something was certainly there.

(Redirected from Cache Creek (Sacramento River))
Cache Creek is an 87-mile-long (140 km)[3]stream in Lake, Colusa and Yolo counties, California.
Course[edit]
Cache Creek starts at the outlet of Clear Lake. It has two main tributaries: North Fork (starting in the Mendocino National Forest north of Clear Lake, and dammed by the Indian Valley Reservoir); and Bear Creek (starting in Bear Valley).
The Capay Diversion Dam, west of Capay, diverts water for distribution throughout Yolo County using a network of canals. At the end of the Capay Valley, near Esparto, Cache Creek runs east into Sacramento Valley, ending in a settling basin east of Woodland, the overflow of which runs into the Sacramento River through a flood control canal.
In addition to the recreational use of Clear Lake and Indian Valley Reservoir there are numerous trail-heads, parks and campgrounds, including the Bear Valley wildflower hotspot. Bear Creek and Cache Creek run in a scenic canyon along State Route 16 in Colusa and Yolo county, including the Cache Creek Regional Park. Cache Creek provides white-water rafting, both in the spring when it is flooded, and through the summer using the agricultural water flow. The entire area south of Route 20 and west of Route 16 is a wildlife preserve, hosting two herds of Tule Elk.
History[edit]
The name of the water body comes from Hudson's Bay Company trappers who cached their furs along the Sacramento River and smaller tributaries, one of which became known to them as Cache Creek. One of their camps, recognized by early settlers as French Camp, was situated in a grove of oaks on the north bank of Cache Creek one mile (1.6 km) east of the present town of Yolo, California. Cache Creek was originally known to the Hudson's Bay Company trappers as Rivière la Cache.[4]
Cache Creek was temporarily blocked north of Rumsey by a landslide caused by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake : Our Rumsey correspondent mentions the fall of Cache Creek as a result of an earthquake shock Tuesday night. The water has continued to fall some since that date and in some places it is dry. Upon investigation by the officials of the Water Company it was found that a landslide had dammed the Creek near the Leonard ranch in Lake county..[5] The creek subsequently broke through, causing severe flooding in Rumsey.[6][7]
Geography[edit]
Cache Creek has two main tributaries: North Fork, and Bear Creek.[8]
Cache Creek begins at the south-east end of Clear Lake (for which it is the outlet), flowing east to the dam which now controls the level of Clear Lake.
The North Fork begins in Lake County in the Mendocino National Forest north of Upper Lake. It flows east, where it is joined by Bartlett Creek, and is then dammed by the Indian Valley Reservoir. It then flows south along New Long Valley Road, and turns east along State Route 20, which it crosses at the Cache Creek Recreation Area.
Cache Creek runs north-east from the dam, behind Perkins Creek Ridge and over The Jams Waterfall before joining the North Fork about 2 miles east of the bridge over Route 20.
Bear Creek starts in Bear Valley and runs south through a canyon (joining Sulphur Creek near Wilbur Springs) until it meets Route 20. It then runs east in parallel with Route 20 for a few miles, and turns south, again cutting through a canyon following State Route 16 in Colusa and Yolo Counties.
Meanwhile, Cache Creek cuts south-east between Cache Creek Ridge (on its north bank) and Little Blue Ridge (south bank), joining Bear Creek at Route 16 near the junction of Lake, Colusa and Yolo counties. The combined Cache Creek continues in the canyon until it emerges north of Rumsey in Capay Valley.
The Capay Diversion Dam, west of Capay, diverts water for distribution throughout Yolo County using a 175-mile (280 km) network of canals.

At the end of the Capay Valley near Esparto Cache Creek runs east into Sacramento Valley, ending in a settling basin east of Woodland.[9] If the Sacramento river is not in flood then any overflow runs into the Tule Canal,continues as Prospect Slough and finally enters the Sacramento River at Cache Slough. If the Sacramento IS in flood, then the overflow from the settling basin is swept into the Yolo Bypass and Sacramento Bypass flood control system, emerging directly at Cache Slough.

Water rights and flooding protection have been in dispute between Yolo and Lake Counties since the late 19th century.
The Yolo County Flood Control & Water Conservation District ('Yolo') has 'an 1855 priority right to divert the natural flow of Cache Creek, and 1912 priority right to store waters in Clear Lake to elevation 7.56 feet Rumsey Gauge for later release and beneficial use.' Various decrees attempt to ensure a balance between the needs of the two counties, although high-water conditions can cause temporary disagreements. Under the Solano Decree Yolo currently holds appropriative rights for up to 150,000 acre feet (190,000,000 m3) per year from Clear Lake, and all the water from the Indian Valley dam.[10]
The Cache Creek Dam on the South Fork of Cache Creek, five miles (8 km) downstream from Clear Lake, was built to increase Clear Lake's capacity and to regulate outflow for downstream users of Cache Creek water. The dam was later modified to include a 3 MW hydroelectric plant. The stream has a relatively small capacity, less than a quarter of the amount the dam is able to release. There is a rock ledge a mile and a half downstream of Clear Lake, called the Grigsby Riffle, near the bridge on State Route 53. This ledge restricts the amount of water that can flow through at that point. The limited capacity of the stream means that it takes a very long time to drain excess flow from Clear Lake, increasing the chance of flooding around the lake. The bottleneck is seen as a backup to prevent flooding downstream and Yolo County is prohibited from increasing the capacity of the channel by the Gopcevic and Bemmerly Decrees.
It is considered the “money” move in basic blackjack, a way to make twice as much profit with one flick of the wrist. Dealers and pit bosses refer to it as “reaching deep.” For the rest of us, it’s. What does double mean blackjack. To double down in blackjack is one of the most popular options available to blackjack players. Very few aspects of blackjack provide the thrill of doubling down your original wager and winning a nice profit. Even beginning players know what a double down is and they eagerly await those hands which qualify.
The Indian Valley dam on the North Fork of Cache Creek forms Indian Valley Reservoir. The dam's primary purpose is water storage for irrigation, but a 3.3 MW hydroelectric plant was built to take advantage of the falling water.
The Capay Diversion Dam, west of Capay, diverts water for distribution throughout Yolo County using a 175-mile (280 km) network of canals. For example, water is pumped into the Winters Canal, which runs south and ends in a reservoir near Winters. This feeds into Willows Canal, which runs east for miles alongside Putah Creek—the water of which is used primarily by Solano County.[11] The 474 foot long, 15 foot high concrete dam was constructed in 1914. In 1994 its apron was raised with a 5-foot high inflatable bladder (the 'longest in the world'), which can be raised or lowered in 30 minutes. It underwent substantial repairs starting in 2009.[12][13]
Wildlife and Recreation[edit]
A large part of the creek within Lake County is designated a Wildlife Area by the state of California and the federal Bureau of Land Management, on which vehicles are prohibited but hiking, primitive camping, and hunting are allowed. The North Fork and Bear Creek each host a growing population of the rare tule elk, plus winter populations of bald eagles. The ruggedness of the area tends to ensure its isolation from human activity. In 2006 the United States Congress designated 27,245 acres (110 km²) of the area as the federally protected Cache Creek Wilderness. Cache Creek Conservancy [14] has restored a 130-acre Cache Creek Nature Preserve area downstream in the watershed.
Whitewater boating on Cache Creek includes kayaking, rafting, canoeing and innertubing which are popular in the summer using the water released from the dams for downstream agriculture.[15][16]
Nominally a tributary of the Sacramento River, Cache Creek now only reaches it during extremely wet years due to damming and diversion of the stream's water. Degradation of the channel caused by invasive plants, such as Arundo donax and Tamarix spp., as well as gravel mining has left no suitable habitat for Chinook salmon and steelhead to spawn, even if there is enough water. Consequently, there are no longer any anadromous fish species in Cache Creek.

The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment released an advisory regarding eating fish caught from this creek based on the mercury level.[17]
State Wild and Scenic River[edit]
Cache Creek was added to California's Wild and Scenic Rivers System in October 2005[18] which protects 31 miles (50 km) of the river from construction of new dams or diversions. Assembly member Lois Wolk introduced AB 1328 in 2005 which received support as well as opposition. New dam construction on Cache Creek was being considered in 2002 by the Yolo County Water District, the agency that had built the Indian Valley Dam and the present dam on Cache Creek.[19]
