The bare Committee storefront, stripped of old paint and waiting for new stucco.
Due to windy, cold weather (typical of a Mono Basin spring!), the second phase of the Mono Lake Committee’s storefront remodel will not begin until Wednesday, April 27. Putting on the new plaster requires warm overnight temperatures, and it looks like Wednesday night will be above freezing.
The Information Center & Bookstore will be open today and Tuesday, but closed all day Wednesday.
