We are in the middle of a bad drought so Nicasio Reservoir, a long term storage reservoir for emergency use, has been getting lower and lower.

Nevertheless, Nicasio Reservoir is a stunningly beautiful place. And there is still enough water left to generate a microclimate all of its own. A cold night following a warm day can often be expected to produce a heavy fog the next morning, resulting in a highly mystical and rather beautiful morning treat.
