Lake Hemet

I drove all the way up to Lake Hemet on Tuesday because I wanted to see if the trees there were turning their gorgeous fall colors, and they were!  It was a pleasant surprise!  I never did make it over to the horses, but I'll go up there this next weekend.

The lake is very low right now.  There were a few campers at the campground, however.  I didn't drive through the campground, but instead I parked at the day/picnic area of the national forest which is also adjacent to the lake and has restrooms.  After my hour's drive, I really needed a stop!

The colors of the trees certainly did not disappoint me.  They were at their peak color!  Sorry about the fence... I was on the public/national forest side of the lake, shooting back into the privately owned campground at Lake Hemet!   :-(
