Side Trip to 11 Mile Canyon

Clear, clear water, made fizzy by a riffle.

Me sitting on a rock - I managed to avoid falling in.

Alvin the friendly chipmunk begging for food (he got some).
Sunday Nancy and I took a local side trip to 11 Mile Canyon, one of the best fishing spots around (we picniced, we didn't fish).  A beautiful canyon with impossibly clear water, we hiked and ate.

It used to be 11 miles long but the last 2 miles were consumed by a dam that holds 11 Mile Reservoir.  As beautiful as 11 Mile Canyon is, the reservoir has no trees around it and is very bleak looking.
