Some of my favorite moments have been totally unpredictable. Several times an osprey, a fish-eating hawk that nests on a tufa tower, has flown right over my group holding a fish in its talons. No, but it is only a few air miles over to Rush Creek and Grant Lake. One day, a weasel put on a wild show for us. But for some reason, this day, the weasel kept popping back out, racing again and again between one tufa and another, and now and then pausing to look at us, as if to make sure we were admiring his performance.
Mono Lake is a very special place.
Understanding and appreciation of those qualities is the overriding objective of our tours. We have some other sub-themes. We hope people incorporate what they discover here into their own personal conclusions about the water-issue questions. After visiting the lake they should have a clearer idea of what's been at stake. We know that Mono Lake sells itself as a place to care about.
