San Diego 13F

I confess this pond got the best of my temper. 
We could see it on the map but couldn't find the darn thing in real life. 
Finally we jumped out of the car and charged (in opposite directions) 
into the hot, humid canyon. 


After about 15 minutes climbing through reeds, fallen trees, palm thickets, etc. 
we came upon a giant asphalt and concrete spillway. 
After 100 yards of concrete we found the back side of a low dam. 
Due to the brush and trees visibility is very limited!
Walking farther up the canyon we finally came to the pond.






When we saw the pond from the end that opens onto a golf course, 
we were quite stunned, and impressed by its beauty and size.
