We took off in under fairly clear skies and on a remarkably haze free day — the entire summer has been plagued by haze, smoke, and
inordinate amounts of dust — in search of blackberries. On a loop road to the south, we stopped at a little overlook to look back at the lake, across part of
a large burn from
about two years ago.

| We found our berrying spot... |

| ...right down by the river. |
It's hard to tell from this photo exactly how far down the water line is in
this reservoir, but it's as low as we had ever seen it, though relatively much higher than
the main reservoir downstream (great photos at the link, btw).

Not sure what this water plant is, but it may not be welcome in our western lakes, as it would seem to impeded boat traffic and swimming.
