Great shots ricky! I know I have told you close to a thousand times now but I am glad you had as much fun as I did! It was great meeting everyone and exploring that beautiful place. It was neat spotting those marmets on top of that cave, a lifer for me for sure!

However I did manage to catch a little carp out of the small shallow pools of water left lol and I did see a sierra gater but it was faster than I and made its way under a huge boulder.

Idk about you guys, but this crime smells of the scheming plots of Carmen San Diego.

Location: Fort Smith, Arkansas		I thought the early 90's got rid of Carmen San Diego...

Bummer about that 'lake.' I guess it was more like a giant puddle. That answers our question about how deep it actually is, huh?
