Heather and I went up to see some water today.  Our first stop was Sherwin Lake off of Fall River Road.

Sherwin Lake really is a pretty little place.

Down at Chinn’s Lake near the old miner’s cabin that gets partially submerged by the lake every day.

Not much of this cabin is left.

Fall River Reservoir is also very pretty.

We got up to Loch Lomond right as the clouds opened up and it started dumping buckets.  We tried to wait it out but there were too many black clouds and there was too much rain.
