The lake looked so blue driving down the hill into town. The pillars (tufa formations) coming out of the lake were a stark contrast to the lake color. I again wanted to kayak
around to explore these interesting formations. But not this time, we were headed to Bodie State Park. The lake has been dropping in depth because Los Angeles has been withdrawing from the lake and it has become salter because there is less volume of water. There is now a effort to bring the water up 10 feet. This will not be a quick fix, the time line is 10 years. The lake fluctuates, the rain and snow also are a factor as to how much the lake rises. It would be interesting to come back in 10 years and see the changes that have taken place. The day after
we left we understand it turned really cold.
