Misty Morning at Red Rock May 1999 Looking north on Lake Red Rock, at the Mile Long Bridge. It's 14 miles through the mist to the starting point at Bennington Access. |

Road under water, no problem Elk Rock Access, under water. Normally, there would be 40-50 boat trailers parked here. The new observation tower at Cordova Park stands 100 feet high across the lake. This is my takeout point, and the tow car is parked away from the high water. |
