About this subject

A low concrete dam with a spillway of falling water spans a quiet river or millpond, backed by densely wooded green hills under a clear blue sky. In the foreground, a thicket of pink wild roses and foliage frames the view across the water.

Hi! The campground is just the other side of this dam. It's gorgeous. We're having a ball. Have seen some nice fish but haven't caught any yet. See you soon. Love, Ron, Diane + youngsters
