Mokelumne Wilderness, Sierra Nevada, California. Looking west. I feel privileged to have made it to this lake--it's a _long_ hike involving lots of altitude gain & loss, and I almost had to give it up. So here's the documentation! ;) Inserts at top left show (L-R) views to the south, west, and north; inserts at top right show the water clarity--and all the pine pollen that's blown up along the shore!

Another of those generic names-- This is a PG&E (Pacific Gas & Electric) reservoir in the headwaters of the Mokelumne River, in California's Sierra Nevada. It drains westward, eventually reaching the Sacramento. Insets show views a bit more to the right. I caught a kayak in the pic to the left, but I guess it adds visual interest!
