It's early here in SE Idaho for growing since the snow just melted off my place about 3-4 weeks ago, but I really enjoy this time of year. Green fields, snow capped mountains and blue sky. That little bit of watering going on is a line 800' long. It doesn't look like much but it sure makes a difference come cutting time. Hopefully we get some rain, not to be greedy but more than last year.:)

That's beautiful; I do like to see some trees though. I guess that's one thing I love about Oklahoma, we have almost any landscape you might want, except maybe a seashore or high mountains.

Yes - the view is great. However - look closely. The "use" is difficult. There is no access to my lake on either end - cattails. The sides are vertical basaltic lava cliffs. There is no useable shore. Where water meets shore line - depth is 30 feet or more. I have built a set of stairs to access my dock - down at the far end - this side. Close examination will show the very end of the dock. Poking out at the very base of the tree - this side, far end. The lake is 80 feet deep.

This time of the year and until late August - jump off the dock or cliffs - you will perform the Jesus act - all the way back to the cliffs/dock. Even in late August - as you paddle around - your feet will feel the thermocline down at about three feet deep.

My son and his friends would jump off the big cliffs - opposite side - far end. Pull themselves back up with a gigantic rope hanging over the cliff. I enjoy sitting on the cliff edge and watching the schools of bass as the swim around - patrolling the lake.

Accessible or not it is still a beautiful setting oosik. The one thing I wish I had is a body of water on my place. I have the water to fill a pond but nowhere for it to drain to. (moving water) so I don't have a mosquito breeding ground. There is an irrigation reservoir about 3 miles from my place but not visible from my place.
