Day Tripping To Echo Reservoir
Last Saturday was the perfect day to take a little drive. One of my favorite things to do. ( click the photos to get a better look)
We ended up going to Sparky’s ( my husband Bob) favorite ice fishing hang out, Echo Reservoir. It’s a popular summer spot too!
We’ve had a lot of snow this year, the snow melting quickly is causing the water there to be very high. It’s beautiful even though the beach is missing!
The water is spilling out faster than ever! Unfortunately we have many overflowing rivers in our area. Many people have had flooding issues with their homes.
It’s sometimes hard to believe we can look to the left and see snow covered mountains ( oops, sorry no photo) and look to the right and see these beautiful red rocks.
We watched some teens having fun as they were pulled behind a boat. You could hear their laughter echo across the water.
Look how high the water is. That’s about 10-15 feet up on the trunk of the tree.
We walked a little down a sandy slope and saw a lot of debris in the water. It’s sad, but I do think this made for a nice photo.
After we wandered a bit we came across this nest of eagles. We sat and watched for a while.
It was a lovely way to make happy memories.
I hope you enjoyed sharing our little drive with us.

Hello Pamela thank you for following along. I’m following you too. Hugs!
Looks like a perfect day. They should still have snow when we go to Mammoth Lakes, CA in August.
WOW! It looks lovely there!! Flooding is such a huge problem this year–everywhere. Ugh. These are the days when I’m glad we don’t have a basement. The weather is so volatile this year in particular, isn’t it?
What beautiful photos! It looks like a fabulous day.
It’s gorgeous! Love all the pictures!
Enjoy your 4th!

The eagle’s nest photos are incredible. Where is this? Ice fishing? I cannot even imagine…..
Is the flooding due to melting snow?
Hi sweetie it’s Echo Reservoir about 40 minutes from our home. Yes my sweet husband fishes all year round. The snow is still on the mountains here. It’s crazy. They’ve been talking about bikini skiing in the mountains not far from our home. Hugs
Stunning sights! What I call a “favorite day”!!
Joy!

Such great pictures. Makes me want to take a vacation!
We are fortunate we can drive for a little bit and have mini vacations not far from home.
What a super place, Katherine. Lovely to hear the laughter of the young ones having fun! How wonderful to actually see an eagle’s nest. Gosh, the water is certainly very high. Looks like you had a great day out.
The laughter echoing was contagious, hugs

There are many lovely things to see where I live. So many tourists come to our area and we are fortunate enough to live in the middle of it all. 🙂
