Below the Dam

IMG_0128

As the sun began its early descent, I embarked down the hill below the North San Gabriel Dam.  This is a nice, paved trail that takes you to the base of the Dam where the rushing water outlet allows the San Gabriel River to continue on its path through Georgetown.  When the days are longer, I will return to explore more of this area.

Annual Lighting of the Square

The City of Georgetown as well as the cold, blowing rain came out for the Annual Lighting of the Square.  There were Christmas Carols to be sung, the Mayor to be greeted, and Santa Claus to tell your Christmas wishes.  I took a few photos out in the crazy cold front from the North, and then hurried over to the Monument Market to warm up with some turkey and squash chili and hot green tea with honey.

Overlook Park

Today’s mission was to walk across the North San Gabriel Dam, down the hill, and then to the fishing pier at Overlook Park on Lake Georgetown.  Sometimes you get a groovy sunset, and sometimes you get beautiful colors.  It was a nice cool evening at the lake with an occasional fish jumping to break the calm surface of the water.
