LIST ISLE LOST

By Bob Walsh

 

                                      Lost Isle & Turner Cut

Anybody of the correct age who spent any time in the CA delta a while back might remember Lost Isle Resort.  It was a party spot in the delta on an island reachable only by boat.  It had deteriorated somewhat after closing down a few years back due to some fairly serious violence occurring during the parties there.  It was sort of a second-string den of iniquity that you could be pretty sure the cops couldn't hit without some amount of warning.

A week ago a fire started on the island.  There is no fire protection in that area so it basically burnt out and what was left of the Lost Isle was pretty much lost to the fire.  County fire showed up to protect some of the nearby islands and property which did have fire protection services.  I strongly suspect the authorities were not sorry to see it go.
