We needed to go up high to get out of the heat so we went up to look at some mountain lakes. The top picture is a reservoir called Manning Meadow. Manning creek runs out of it and flows all the way down almost to Marysvale. The lake is at 10,000 feet so it was nice and cool up there. The other lake is called Barney Lake and was much smaller. There were some people fishing on it using a canoe. There is a dirt track, barely a road back to Barney Lake but they had gotten a small truck in there.
We have seen lots of wildlife on our trips. Mule deer, wild turkeys, black tailed rabbits, yellow bellied marmots, glimpses of elk, grouse and several rattlesnakes. The snakes seem to like to cross the road in front of us so we just stop and wait for them to get out of our way. It has been hot here and it is extremely dry. It hasn't rained in more than a month and it doesn't look like it will any time soon. There are lots of wildfires popping up but so far nothing very close to us.
