Description

Hello all! Here is Lake Elizabeth or Lake eLa Laguna Del Diablo, as it was known to the Spanish, was created by seismic activity. IT is 35 surface acers and rests at an elevation of 3,550 feet. Without the intervention of man, the lake would ultimately become a grassy meadow, then fill-in with trees. A portion of the lake is owned by the U.S. Forest Service with the remainder being privately owned. A cave near the Rancho once encompassing the lake, was one of several hideouts used by bandito Tiburcio Vasquez. Lake Elizabeth is a lake located in Los Angeles County, California. Not many know of this lake except for locals as it is a hard drive to get to it -through small winding roads ... It is inside Angeles National Forest located 65 miles noth of LA , west of Palmdale. There is another lake west of it near Lake Elizabeth, Lake Hughes. the two may have a common ancestry because they are so close together. Elizabeth Lake Road is a long road (probably named after the lake) that connects the suburbs of Palmdale, Lake Hughes, and the lake itself. Its a great place to fish as it is stocked heavily with rainbow trout bluegill , bass and catfish . Just NOT the best place to swim . ( One time a few years ago I went skinnydipping here by moonlight with a friend and icthed badly all the way home ..) LOL!! I am drawn to all the many trees knee deep in water here that seem to be wading in the lake here ... ( taken last spring with my 7900 pocket cam). hoping you all have a great day or evening there! Love to you all!! ((( Big hugs ))) ~ kimmers !! :O) ♥

there doesnt seem to be a "subject" in this shot, it is more of a montage of shapes and colours, nice tho they are ;) Sounds like an interesting place :)
