Beaver Creek Reservoir and Pizza

We decided to stay another night at South Fork Campground and after a lunch of the leftover ribs and bidding Heinz and Angela goodbye, we took Rich and Terri up to see Beaver Creek Reservoir.

I know many of my blog readers have camped with us in South Fork through the years, so am familiar with Beaver Creek Reservoir.  As you know they found a leak in the earthen dam up there a few years ago and this year they started the repairs….looks like they are going to create a whole new dam behind this one and take the current one down.  There is only a trickle amount of water left in the bottom of the reservoir except at the base of the dam where it is pooled up.  The reservoir sure is a lot deeper than any of us realized.  Click on any photo to enlarge the view.

That black area to the right looks like the back of the new dam up against the mountain side	A closer look

Later on we all drove to Del Norte and enjoyed dining on pizza at Three Barrel Brewery. 

 

Rich and Terri did a sampling of the beers they offer and we enjoyed almost all of them.

 

 

 

The place is very small, only holding 22 people but we were lucky to find a table right in front of the glassed in brew room.

      

The pizza and calzones were very good and inexpensive.  Love pizza cooked in a wood burning oven.

We’re looking forward to the opening of their new location on the main drag sometime this summer….and their offering of the summer beers.

     

Remember, you are loved.
