What) Don Pedro Reservoir is an artificial lake formed by the construction of the Don Pedro Dam across the Tuolumne River in the Stanislaus National Forest of Tuolumne County, California in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. The reservoir's shoreline is approximately 160 mi (260 km), has submerged some 26 mi (42 km) of Tuolumne River bed and has a surface area of about 13,000 acres (5,300 ha). (1)

    Why) This is another spot where I made Pam pull over and let me take a picture.  I don't think the picture fully captured the beauty of the area so I found three other pictures from the internet that did.






























This is my picture taken just before crossing the bridge.
