Did you know that Irvine has its very own lake? We do! This is Lake Irvine, created by damming Santiago Creek with the Santiago Dam, built in 1929.
It's always surprised me that we could create even a small lake by damming Santiago Creek, which is called a creek for a reason. But I guess during rainy season it manages to pour a few hundred acre feet of water into the lake bed.
Also, it's not actually in Irvine. It's just named after the Irvine family, the same as everything else in this neck of the woods.
It's so pretty!
How's the fishing?
Like naming your pet weak-kneed tarantula after yourself because it's the only name you can think of.
(Was going to say goldfish, then I thought, what other pets are there?)
Yeah, that's pretty good. Almost as good as my lake, lake Michigan. Which is a five-minute walk from my condo.
Hey, Kevin's got the climate comparison all sewed up, so sue me 🙂
