Cherry Lake - drained

Cherry from the communication station

Two weekends ago, we took a ride out to Cherry to check out how low it is.  They have been draining it to repair the dam and we had not yet seen it.

Eleanor which is about a mile east of Cherry - it's full to the brim!


The pictures above were taken at the communications station that we sometimes drive up to so that we can get a good view of Cherry and Eleanor or to play in the snow in the winter.  Jim is still on his peg leg so we couldn't do much exploring or hiking.  Grace brought all her camera gear and took some pics for school assignments.


Then we drove right down to Cherry and saw exactly how low it was.   It was super cool to see although I wish we could have hiked down to the water line to look for treasures.

This has something to do with the water flow but I don't know what!
