Articles from the Summer 1997 Newsletter
A spring storm hangs over the Sierra in this issue's cover photograph, and in the foreground the rising lake recaptures a sandbar, making it lakebottom once more.
The weather is warm and the thunderclouds are building here in the Mono Basin, a sure sign of summer. The season also launches us into volume twenty of the Mono Lake Newsletter! Mono Lake, and the Newsletter, have come a long way in since 1978, and we're planning some special twentieth anniversary events for 1998--you'll be hearing more in upcoming issues.
You'll find lots to read about in this issue: the restoration Settlement is discussed, summer activities, former Executive Director Martha Davis remembers her thirteen years with the Committee, and Tufa State Reserve Ranger Dave Carle reflects on the rising lake.
We feature a special report on the bighorn sheep population of Lee Vining Canyon while a new column, called Naturalist Notes, compiles sightings and observations from our field notebooks here in Lee Vining. Happy reading, and we hope to see you at the lake!
