The article partially reads, "Franklin Canyon Reservoir is there--fenced in--surrounded by beautiful and stately pine and other trees...There's a gravel and asphalt road that passes by the edge of the DWP property for those motorists who are curious enough to explore a side road. They can't get into the reservoir area, of course, because it's barricaded all around by chain-link fencing. Trespassers are not allowed. Hunters are barred. Fishermen the same."; See images #00117944 through #00117945 for all photos in this series which were composited together in publication.
