Our new family tradition, started in 2008, is that every year we get a grandchild we will rent a cabin at Shaver Lake (about an hour east of Fresno) for a family Thanksgiving. Grandchild #2 arrived in June, so for the second time we are spending Thanksgiving at Shaver. We are in a 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom, 3-story cabin with our three kids, two sons-in-law, and two grandkids.

Shaver Lake is mostly drained right now so that Southern California Edison can install a liner on the inside face of the nearly 90-year-old dam. For the first time since 1992, the old Shaver Mill Pond dam is exposed for all to see.

Near one of the marinas at Shaver Lake is this newly exposed "stump forest."

Nice series, Fred, and a great family outing. Thanks for sharing.
