Mono Lake

We met up with our California Kayaking friends at the campground in Mammoth. On Saturday we headed for Mono Lake. The weather was fine and sunny when we left but we knew that we had a small window of good weather. Sure enough as we were on the lake enjoying the Tuffa formations, a storm cell came over. We padddled as fast as we could through the wind, rain and occasional lightening to arrive back at the beach safe but salty. Our adventure gave us something to talk about around the campfire but the weather ended any chance of a paddle the next day.

 Looking into the clear water of Mono Lake you can see the new Tuffa forming. You can also see millions of Brine shrimp wiggling around. These are the same creatures they called sea monkeys when we were kids.
