this lake is man made. as are all lakes in the state of arizona. i went here a while ago, in july. i forgot to post these pictures because i didn't think they were all that extraordinary. neither was the day - really. i went with two couples to the lake. one couple is awesome. the other couple was not awesome. i'm usually pretty skeptical of the people here who seem normal. the people who are obviously misfits in society and wind up working here i greet without reservations; arms wide open. it's the graduates of smith college and the university of massachusetts who i try my best to stay away from. i'm more confused by them than by aleria, the 30-something who loves the power rangers, is going to a star trek convention, is working on a novel and wears ungodly amounts of makeup. working in a national park isn't actually all that glamourous or romantic. it's not the days of edward abbey in arches / or john muir in yosemite / it's the days of laura phillips working at the front desk, eating at the employee cafeteria and going days without even looking at the canyon.
