Photos of Our Scenic Drive to the Lafayette Reservoir Park

THD Activity on the Scenic Drive to the Lafayette Reservoir yesterday afternoon was fun. The following THD residents that participated are in the photo below: 

The Lafayette Reservoir is an open-cut human-made terminal water storage reservoir owned and operated by the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD). Completed in 1933, it was intended solely as a standby water supply for EBMUD customers. EBMUD opened the reservoir for public recreation in 1966. It is located off California State Route 24 and a mile from the Lafayette BART station, in Contra Costa County, California, United States. This all-year, day-use area is ideal for hiking, jogging, fishing, boating and picnicking. The reservoir is on the Lafayette-Orinda border. The reservoir is on a 925-acre (3.74 km2) site and holds 1.4 billion US gallons (5,300,000 m3)

I took some photos as Follows: 











On our way back we stopped for ice cream at La Chataigne French Pastry Shop. I took the two photos of these dark red hibiscus as part of the landscaping of the La Fiesta Square Shopping Mall , Lafayette, CA
