Today the average annual rainfall in Boise is just 11.5 inches. By comparison, Seattle, Washington, averages over three times more rainfall per year at 37.7 inches, but that\u2019s like comparing apples and cumquats. Other cities with similar rainfall to The City of Trees include Fresno, California (11.0), and Tucson, Arizona (10.6), both of which are further south than Idaho\u2019s capital. Yet, in the summertime, roads throughout Boise are crammed with pickup trucks and SUVs pulling all manner of watercraft, but to where in this dry climate? Turns out, the \u201cwhere\u201d is a couple of reservoirs east of Boise up the Boise River Valley \u2013 Lucky Peak Reservoir and Arrowrock Reservoir. <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d931ccc41e0&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d931ccc41e0\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1725\" height=\"1299\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"63408\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesbaroud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/David-Gonzalez-8-Reservoirs-22.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63408\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Agrandir\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d931ccc4604&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d931ccc4604\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1725\" height=\"1299\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"63409\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesbaroud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/David-Gonzalez-8-Reservoirs-23.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63409\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Agrandir\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-937cea2\" data-block-id=\"937cea2\"><style>.stk-937cea2 {margin-top:20px !important;}.stk-937cea2 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:0.7em !important;color:#666666 !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-937cea2 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:0.7em !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-color has-text-align-center\">David Gonzalez: Lucky Peak Reservoir (left), Arrowrock Reservoir (right)<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-56d6618\" data-block-id=\"56d6618\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Both reservoirs were created by dams of the same name.

Lucky Peak Reservoir splashes up against Arrowrock Dam at its headwaters. I had visited the asphalt\u2019s end in my sports car before, but this time I pressed my pickup truck into service so that I could forge onto the silty arterial. I was richly rewarded. The road was just the right type of treacherous! Sure, Arrowrock Rd is pocked by holes and boulders and sections of molar-rattling washboard, but it\u2019s also barely a car\u2019s width wide in many places. With few guardrails beyond the dam and palm-sweating cliffsides down to the water, vigilance was required at every blind corner, and all the corners were blind.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-8759183\" data-block-id=\"8759183\"><style>.stk-8759183 .stk-img-figcaption{text-align:center !important;}.stk-8759183 .stk-img-wrapper img{object-position:51% 64% !important;}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch stk--has-lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-63423\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesbaroud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/David-Gonzalez-8-Reservoirs-27.webp\" width=\"1725\" height=\"1299\" alt=\"The rear of David's Colorado ZR2 with the Magma closed on top\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"stk-img-figcaption\">David Gonzalez: Summertime on Arrowrock Reservoir Beach<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-649739a\" data-block-id=\"649739a\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Drive far enough out and you discover beaches, of a sort. Coarse, sand-like material becomes exposed as Arrowrock Reservoir\u2019s stores of winter snow and spring runoff wane. There is even a paved boat launch at one location that facilitates, well, launching boats, but also serves as a thoroughfare for vehicles wishing to drive onto the beach. Before kids go back to school, these beaches are packed on the weekends with day trippers but also overnighters.

School started early in Boise, August 12th this year, so I didn\u2019t have to wait too long. More importantly, my master plan worked like a charm. The alluring isthmus I spotted earlier was completely unencumbered by other members of my species since families were busy navigating the first week of school. Safely reaching the isthmus, I veered off the treacherous Arrowrock Rd onto the paved boat launch to get down near the water. While my fully camp-equipped truck is very capable, I am inexperienced at overlanding. My palms began perspiring as I imagined the many ways I might sink up to my axles in deep sand or the brown mud that began appearing closer to the reservoir shore. No cellular coverage combined with the splak-splak of my moist hands shuffling around the steering wheel fueled my increased heart rate across the beach sands. Then I arrived. The isthmus was perfect! A few truck adjustments later and my Magma rooftop tent was level, deployed, unzipped, and ready to deliver an entire afternoon and evening\u2019s worth of commanding views.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-a58ebb5\" data-block-id=\"a58ebb5\"><style>.stk-a58ebb5 .stk-img-figcaption{text-align:center !important;}.stk-a58ebb5 .stk-img-wrapper img{object-position:51% 64% !important;}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch stk--has-lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-63444\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesbaroud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/David-Gonzalez-8-Reservoirs-28.webp\" width=\"1725\" height=\"1299\" alt=\"The rear of David's Colorado ZR2 with the Magma closed on top\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"stk-img-figcaption\">David Gonzalez: Isthmus East of Boat Launch<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-0dad5e2\" data-block-id=\"0dad5e2\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Onto the back of the truck before departing I had thrown my Trek Rail, a full suspension electric-assist mountain bike with an impressive battery range. This bike is the perfect explorer. It will literally go anywhere, and the assistance gives me the confidence to push beyond my limits into the unknown. Plus, I am realizing the benefits of having a \u201cdinghy\u201d like those cars being towed behind mammoth motorhomes. Once parked and leveled in a campsite for the night, I am unmotivated to move my truck with rooftop tent and go exploring. Doing so requires stowing the rooftop tent and everything inside it. Instead, my bike can serve as my dinghy to venture off into the wild and explore or conceivably seek help should I find myself axle deep in sand or mud.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d931ccc61c3&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d931ccc61c3\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1725\" height=\"1299\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"63399\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesbaroud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/David-Gonzalez-8-Reservoirs-29.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63399\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Agrandir\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d931ccc662f&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d931ccc662f\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1725\" height=\"1299\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"63451\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesbaroud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/David-Gonzalez-8-Reservoirs-30.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63451\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Agrandir\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-62baa15\" data-block-id=\"62baa15\"><style>.stk-62baa15 {margin-top:20px !important;}.stk-62baa15 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:0.7em !important;color:#666666 !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-62baa15 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:0.7em !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-color has-text-align-center\">David Gonzalez: Trek Rail at Arrowrock Reservoir<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-7027f12\" data-block-id=\"7027f12\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Exploring was the plan for my afternoon, to pedal east on Arrowrock Rd until the reservoir dwindles down to a mere stream. Satellite mapping seemed to suggest there would be shade-bearing trees along the road. There were none, at least none big enough to provide relief from the searing afternoon temperatures. Fortunately, I had lots of fluids and stiff winds to help keep me from melting, so I remained undaunted. I changed into my mountain biking gear, clipped in, and headed out. The deep sand proved way more challenging than I expected as I rode my way to the boat launch to climb back up to Arrowrock Rd. I narrowly avoided several opportunities to sample the beach sand firsthand. Once on the mostly one-lane road, though, it was better packed and smooth sailing. The road followed the shore of the narrow reservoir with crazy diversions around long and skinny fingers before returning to the primary easterly direction. These fingers were often only partially filled with water, revealing captivating step-like striations.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-dbaec28\" data-block-id=\"dbaec28\"><style>.stk-dbaec28 .stk-img-figcaption{text-align:center !important;}.stk-dbaec28 .stk-img-wrapper img{object-position:51% 64% !important;}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch stk--has-lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-63458\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesbaroud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/David-Gonzalez-8-Reservoirs-31.webp\" width=\"1725\" height=\"1299\" alt=\"The rear of David's Colorado ZR2 with the Magma closed on top\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"stk-img-figcaption\">David Gonzalez: Water Level in an Arrowrock Reservoir Finger<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-58da79f\" data-block-id=\"58da79f\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Emerging from each fascinating finger was yet another vista too intriguing to miss, so I kept pedaling and sweating. The riding was fast and furious. The geology dumbfounding. Finally, I reached my goal: the reservoir was just a river. I hopped off my bike, took a long pull off my no longer icy CamelBak, and stretched my always-tight hip flexors, all the while admiring this journey I shared with semi-arid climate water from reservoir to stream.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d931ccc6dd6&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d931ccc6dd6\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1725\" height=\"1299\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"63465\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesbaroud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/David-Gonzalez-8-Reservoirs-32.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63465\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Agrandir\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d931ccc725b&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d931ccc725b\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1725\" height=\"1299\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"63472\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesbaroud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/David-Gonzalez-8-Reservoirs-33.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63472\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Agrandir\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-c71b726\" data-block-id=\"c71b726\"><style>.stk-c71b726 {margin-top:20px !important;}.stk-c71b726 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:0.7em !important;color:#666666 !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-c71b726 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:0.7em !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-color has-text-align-center\">David Gonzalez: The River Filling The Reservoir<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-10afdf9\" data-block-id=\"10afdf9\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">I confirmed my bike\u2019s battery had plenty of juice left then began the 12.5-mile ride back to my campsite. Those winds that were keeping me cool turned out to be at my back on the ride out. I hadn\u2019t noticed. Now they were headwinds, and more ferocious than before. That, combined with the absence of mystery around every corner, gnawed at my resolve. I had a long ride back\u2026 Many twists and turns and close encounters with vehicles later, I could finally see my campsite. And none too soon \u2013 I was baked, literally from the sun and exhaustion-wise. So much so, I opted for a shortcut. Instead of riding past my campsite to the boat launch I dropped off the end of Arrowrock Rd onto a super thick sand embankment. I believed as long as I kept my speed up I would float over the sand and vaguely guide myself down to the densely packed sand below. I was right, though the drop was harrowing.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-4dc5c85\" data-block-id=\"4dc5c85\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Moments later I was back at my campsite and quickly realized the winds were too strong to deploy my shade awning.

So, after I ate and cleaned up, I stowed my trusty e-bike on the rack, turned down my bed, and then read a while longer as the sun was setting. I embraced the desolation and serenity. My duck-mates had returned home, as had nearly every other human. Exhausted, I drifted off mere moments after the sun escaped beyond the mountains. I did not dream. I did, however, wake up a bit after 5:00 AM to a very bright moon and a patchwork sky of clouds that left my mouth agape. I stood outside in the now refreshing and much milder breeze for quite a while, absorbing the unique symphony with nearby water lapping and far off birds cooing. Peaceful summed it up.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d931ccc87d1&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d931ccc87d1\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1725\" height=\"1299\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"63500\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesbaroud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/David-Gonzalez-8-Reservoirs-38.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63500\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Agrandir\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d931ccc8c04&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d931ccc8c04\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\" data-block-type=\"core\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1725\" height=\"1299\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"63507\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesbaroud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/David-Gonzalez-8-Reservoirs-37.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63507\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Agrandir\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-8e5f350\" data-block-id=\"8e5f350\"><style>.stk-8e5f350 {margin-top:20px !important;}.stk-8e5f350 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:0.7em !important;color:#666666 !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-8e5f350 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:0.7em !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-color has-text-align-center\">David Gonzalez: Sunset on Arrowrock Reservoir<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-be4491a\" data-block-id=\"be4491a\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Upon glimpsing this heavily tree-lined river valley some 700 years after the French-Canadian fur-trappers, from the saddle of my mountain bike brimming with space age electronics, it was still a godsend.
