Articles From the
Fall 1997 Newsletter
This
issue’s cover photograph by photographer and
supporter Stephen P. Anderson takes us back in time to
1985, when the lake level was two feet lower than today.
The view is from South Tufa, looking to Mount Gibbs, Mt.
Dana, and the rest of the Sierra Crest.
Along Mono's west shore,
vegetation gives way to the rising lake.
A lot of events are coming
up, so pull out your calendar while you read the
following pages. The Century ride is probably just days
away by the time you read this. We have a film premiere
coming up in Berkeley in October, and our Fall Party in
the Eastern Sierra on October 10. New this year is our
first Fall Forum, an annual event which will focus on
scientific discussion and debate of Mono Lake issues.
This year’s forum will be on stream restoration and
begins October 11.
An interview with Bill
Trush begins on the next page and provides a view into
Mono Basin stream restoration. Conway Ranch is now in
escrow and a public process is gathering information on
north Mono Basin water use.
And then there’s our
annual fall Mono Lake Catalog. Look for lots of new
items, great reading, and gifts. Of course, mail-order
isn’t required—you’re always welcome here
in the Bookstore in Lee Vining!
