Grilling on the beach

Had great day at the reservoir. Canoeing and chilling out. Grills available and clean portapotty. Just watch out for the naturalists if you don't want to see them don't go looking.

We had to go see the Glory Hole!

A local shop owner recommended we go see the reservoir and when she said it had a Glory Hole, I was intrigued! The walkway offers a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and has a nice hiking path if you have the time.

So beautiful!

Accidentally stumbled on this from Wilmington when stayed straight on 100 at stop light instead of turning on 9. Road soon turns into dirt road & then there are pull overs and picnic areas. So peaceful. Gorgeous in the fall!
