The Endless Expanse..

...of Lake Berryessa...more than 20 years ago we used to spend the majority of our summer weekends here, b.c. (before children), and have many great memories. It was good to visit it again, even if only for a short time....

 

We endured hours of driving in traffic to get here, and didn't mind at all...this was our summer playground for a handful of years...

 

We have explored all of its creeks and coves.

 

We have seen it full, like this, and seen it so low that we could see the town that is now buried in its depths.

 

We have seen it's surrounding hills green, we have seen it on fire.

 

We have seen it empty like this (although not very often) and we have seen it packed with boats.

 

We have enjoyed the peace and quiet like it is here and endured the drone of hundreds of speed-boats.

 

We have watched the military practice here, and watched as they tried to locate a plane crashed into its depths.

 

We have seen joy here, and tragedy.

 

We have baked on it's shores and swam, water-skied, tubed, and wake-boarded in it's pleasantly warm waters.

 

We had joyous times with friends here...times that will never be forgotten..
