A rare photo of the Loch Tabla Gabhar.
Mike, some day I'm going to actually visit Table lake and take a gazillion photos and post them here so they will no longer be rare.

South Yuba River State Park, just north of the covered bridge.
Swimming hole. Get there before the state shuts it.
No photos...go get your own.
State doesn't own this one (and it's good in winter):
