Got Water?

Had a wonderful afternoon drive, lunch and played cards with my parents before being dropped back off to go to work in the morning.

These tree stumps should be under water. With the drought this lake is slowly disappearing.

Lake Keechelus was created when the Keechelus dam was built in 1917. Keechelus means "few fish" to the local Indian tribe. 

The dam is 128 feet tall and can hold back 157,000 acre feet of water. It is also the headwaters of the Yakima river. 

The first extra is taken where the new road ends (been low awhile) and is about 100 feet closer to the water then  where the old boat launch was. .  

The second extra is walking through the dry mud to get closer and a color photo.
