Stevens Creek reservoir

Stevens creek reservoir is located about 2 miles southwest of Cupertino; it was built in 1935

The stream of water is named after an early settler, Captain Elishia Stephens who lead the successful passage of wagons over the Sierra Nevada in 1844

The reservoir has a picnic spot complete with barbeque grills and benches

There was a marathon going on this morning, runners were running pretty close to the speed limit ;)

There is this beautiful and very expensive resedential area if you go up the hill, further down the reservoir

These electricity cables cross the road. I stopped the car on the single road that twirls around the hill to take this picture.
