Miyagase and Yokohama

Recreational park on the shores of Lake Miyagase includes a visitors’ center with depictions of the valley before Miyagase Dam was completed in 2000. I actually drove through Aiko village a couple of times in the early’90s before the valley was submerged behind Miyagase Dam.

Lake Miyagase, a reservoir that submerged about 300 homes of villagers who had to relocate. This lake serves as one of the primary sources of the drinking water that comes out of my tap in Yokohama.

Miyagase Dam with Dale-chan

“Let’s play catch!”

Dale-chan the border collie waiting for me to kick the rubber ball she found in the park last night.

She wasn't too thrilled about posing for this shot until I held a dog treat just below the camera lens.

Took Dale to Miyagase Dam so that she could play in the lake. She hated cars as a pup, but now she loves going for drives! Her lead is tied to a the belt seat and wrapped around my leg during driving. If Kyoko was here, she would have rode an Kyoko's lap. Really miss Kyoko during these "family" outings. She would have prepared the best picnic basket full of American dishes and traditional Japanese dishes
