Where Oh Where Has Our Lovely Lake Gone???



Ever see the drain at the bottom of a lake???

Horseshoe Lake is one of the Lakes in the Mammoth Lakes Basin...
This actually is a crevice that drains the lake...
But no one knows where all the water actually goes!!!
With our lack of snow this year...the lake has emptied extraordinarily fast and 
completely...



See the difference from last year here and here...

  2. It's really weird Bibi! This is our third September here and this is definitely the lowest we've seen the lake and most of the long term locals have said the same...
    It will fill up again with a good snow year...let's hope this year fills the bill!!!

  8. I think Adele's right Margaret...I'm going to swing by and see if you have any goddesses for shrinking lakes!!!

    I know it will fill up considerably...but back to the top??? Let's see what a rain/snow dance can do!!!

    Thanks for the suggestion Adele...I'll head over to Margaret's next!!!

  9. It's not really as scary as it might seem Pat...it happens every year, just not to this degree!!! Last year it stayed almost full because we had so much snow from the winter before....
