On this episode we travel outside of Yosemite to visit nearby Mono Lake.

Mono Lake has been at the center of controversy for decades due to water diversion efforts for the city of Los Angeles by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.

This episode covers the history of the lake, why it is ecologically important to sustain a minimum level (6392!), and what you can do to help.
