Description
Hello All!
Well, something came up and my Vegas trip was postponed 'til next weekend. I was still in the vacation-get-away- mood so went to this Lake about 10-15 miles from my home with my family.
This is the upper Lake Castaic.
I had to hike allot for this one! I am still a bit tired from it all... you cannot drive in so have to park wayyy at the top of the mountain . and hike and hike.
and then from here this point its about 3/4 the way down. Went down. went up. went all over exploring and hiking that day with my girls. It used to be a picnic area in the 70s. Too much partying happened so this place here -it got shut down, when I was a teen sometimes shhhh I would play hooky from school sneak off and sunbathe here... You don't see anyone walking around up here these days. The picnic areas are pretty much like a ghost town thing . My girls didnt understand why the picnicing area look as though it was a scene from planet of the apes ...!! roads were mostly covered with dirt -tables, decks and old water fountains broken /falling apart ,ect. I remember going here for picnics in the early 70s as a child with my family. I kinda like that it was closed off because the natural beauty now remains untouched.
Please do let me know if you like this kind of thing -if so, I took many pictures of this place at different places here and might do a little series on it.
Thank you for all your time and comments ..
!!
Love you all!
((( big hugs )))
