I was enjoying my afternoon siesta when my dear hubby woke
me up to ask me if I wanted to go visit the hollow dam. If you know me
and my husband, you know how much I crib about him not taking me out. So, when he asked, I honestly thought that I was dreaming. He asked again
and told me to get ready if I wanted to go. I sprang to action and was
ready before he could ask again. (I was afraid that he would change his
mind)
We left with a bottle of water. Mansfield hollow dam is 10
mins from our house. We were there by 630 pm. The air was just right and
the temperature perfect. You can see the words "Hollow dam" on the building behind us.
This is what the dam looks like from the other side.
It has lovely trails to walk on. The information desk says that the trails have lovely sights to see of the lake and stunning shots of the woods.
We walked till the actual lake. It seems that the water comes from 3 rivers but I can't remember any. Stunning!
We walked till the point there is a lake, we found the level shallow and tried to experience it. Nice and cool.
There is an Indian restaurant nearby and close to the dam. All that walking made us hungry and I was craving for some spicy fried stuff. We ordered a vegetable appetizer platter and nothing else (much to the dismay of the manager) and enjoyed. He didn't ask us to eat much after looking at the smile of satisfaction on my face :)
