The view along the boardwalk at the County
Park in March of 1995. Lake level: 6375. Note the
tufa in the distance. |

Four years later and nine feet higher,
sizable sections of the boardwalk have been
lifted for the rising lake which is now at 6384
feet. |
 |
January 1999. Approximately 11:00 AM just
before the Tufa State Reserve controlled burn.
East shore marsh vegetation was burned as part of
the restoration and ecosystem management plan for
the Mono Basin. |
 |
The same day, approximately two hours later.
The controlled burn quickly and safely burned 50
acres of land right down to the shoreline. For
details on the fire see page 4. |
