There are Native America grinding holes in some nearby rock formations including just to the left of this image. |
When I was here last spring at this very spot there was clear, standing water of significant depth. |
This is the view east showing Blinn Ranch Trail |
The eastward extension of the lake is a mere ribbon of water. |
I've always seen these interesting rock formations from the main area of the park on the south side but today I was actually with them. |
There are many rigorous ups and downs for most of Blinn Ranch Trail. |
This image was captured from atop one of the rock formation pictured elsewhere in this column. |
As you can well see this is extreme fire country due to the terrain and the fuels and now add our ongoing drought. |
Note the rock formations all tilted up diagonally in the same orientation. |
Currently this reservoir is at 26.7 % capacity. |
These pine trees are "Gray Pines" formerly called "Digger Pines". |
These are old riverine deposits forming the most interesting rock formation I encountered all day. All photos by Kim Patrick Noyes (all rights reserved). |
