Eastern Sierras - Lake Sabrina

Wednesday, September 18th

Last year, we simply could not face doing the 51 mile climb to Lake Sabrina and South Lake.   As was the case this year as well.  What was different this year was that we found ourselves walking in what can only be described as an alien moonscape.  See me.  I should be submerged in water. 

I am walking where the lake should be.  It is odd and startling.  Research about drought and drainage provide little in the way of details and understanding as to what exactly is going on. 

Some of the lake remains.  Here is a website with photos and history of the glory of Lake Sabrina.
