What is this guy doing in Mono Lake?

On Tuesday, LADWP installed a new lake
level gauge at a new location--Old Marina.
This location is more easily accessible than the old gauge after heavy snows. It
also
provides an opportunity to make the lake level readings more accessible to
visitors.
An interpretive sign is planned that will tell visitors how to read the gauge
and convert
it to a "real" elevation. Binoculars (or a boat) are needed to read the gauge.
Current gauge reading = 2.67 feet
Current Lake Level = 6384.76 feet above sea level*
* Current lake level
based on old gauge (1M) reading of 0.94'. Gauge 1M had a zero elevation of
6383.82' asl (USGS).
New gauge has not yet been surveyed, but if gauge 1M is still correct, the
new gauge is likely to have a zero
elevation of 6382.09' asl.
