As the year comes to a close, it’s always fun to look back and take stock of what has happened at, around, and for Mono Lake. 2011 has been another amazing year … so amazing, in fact, that we couldn’t fit it all into a “top 10” list, so we’re doing the top 11 of 2011. We’ll release one highlight each day, complete with new photos from the 2011 archive, here on The Mono-logue for the last 11 days of the year. Stay tuned!
