Mono Lake is pretty unusual terrain in the lower 48. I've been there before, and drove through there again in May, just after ALA in San Francisco. It leads up into Yosemite and the drive through the Sierras there is quite spectacular. The lake itself, other than the fact it is water, looks like something on the moon, or Mars 50 million years ago. Mono=Moon?? I wonder if it has been in some films? Reminds me of the splashdown in the original Planet of the Apes. Thanks for the info, Kent. Harold K. Bush St. Louis, MO
