Re: [Paddlewise] Mono Lake Information

Put in at dawn and plan on being out before noon.  Some wicked winds start
up in the afternoon and it can get dangerously choppy.  You can put in
boats at Navy Pier (beach?) on the south side of the lake.  This is about a
quarter mile or so from some tufa.  Read the sign before you go in as
certain times of year the islands are off limits do to nesting birds.
Morning is a beautiful time, the lake is like glass and the water is clear
a long ways down.

On your way through Yosemite, you might also enjoy putting in at any of a
number of the lakes.  They're small but nice to putter around in.

Have fun,
deb
