Worked El Mirage clean-up yesterday. The lakebed was closed, saw some dampness in spots. It ought to dry out in the next two weeks.
We worked on the far west side of the lakebed. We were directed to take a dirt road from the ranger station several miles south of Bishop, then back to the enclosed dirt road by Calloway's. There's talk that will be the route in and out from now on. I wonder why we would have to do that when, I'm sure, the campers with their toy-haulers will probably enter from the east. It's an ugly rumor -- hope it's not true.
Picked up lots of little pieces of crap. Were told not to pick up rusted cans, certain kinds of glass, etc. that might be deemed artifacts. It was hard to age-date the trash.
