Lake of the Springs

Over the past few months Barbara and I have been having repairs made to our trailer as well as myself making additional repairs that the manufacturer didn’t do or happened later. It has been a frustrating and difficult time for us and due to this I have not been able to do any hiking and or photography. But last week, Barbara, Ellie and I spent a week at Lake of the Springs in Oregon House, CA. One day while there, I took a long hike from our RV spot to the dam on Lake Mildred and then most of the way around the lake. We have camped there many times, and until now, I didn’t know there was a trail that went around the lake. It was a nice, quiet hike as I was the only person on the trail that day. This time of year the trees are turning colors and this added to the beauty of the scenery I enjoyed that day. This area is a transition zone where the oaks of the California foothills start to give way to the conifers of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The winds were light on this day allowing for some nice reflections off of the lake surface. I hope you enjoy the photos.

Nice mushroom growing along the trail.
