Summer. Always wanted to buy one of those paintings they had for sale as you went in and in the lodge.

This looks like it was a good water year. There were a few years when it was just a trickle.

My Mom and Dad were from Thomas and would go on dates there. And in the 20's my Dad's first job was with the forestry there on some program of Roosevelts.
