| Mono Lake Canoe Tour |
 |
A one-hour naturalist-guided canoe tour
through Mono Lake, provided by the Mono Lake
Commitee to bring awareness to the importance
of protecting the lake as a vital water
resource. Mono Lake is a high-desert lake and
one of the most biologically productive lakes
in North America. Bubbling springs, alkali
flies, brine shrimp, underwater tufa towers,
migrating birds are one of the many things to
admire in this beautiful Sierra Nevada
surroundings. Not mentioning how much fun it
was to find myself floating in its amazing
crystaline salty waters!

| Amoeba gobbles algae cells in Mono Lake |
 |
Sample taken from Mono Lake, California.
Viewed with a Swift FM-31 Field Microscope
and Nikon Coolpix 885 at 400X. Mono Lake is
a soda lake [sometimes called an "alkali
lake"] with a high salt content and a high
pH. Such water is toxic to humans and most
animals, yet a large population of
microorganisms lives in Mono Lake. The algal
cells are similar to Chlorella and coated the
bottom of the shallows. Numbers of these
Amoebae were found, busily munching the algal
cells.

| Yosemite Mono Lake Paiute - Native American Indians |
 |
Dedicated to the original Native Americans of
Yosemite, Mono Lake and Hetch Hetchy, the
Yosemite-Mono Lake Paiute people. Every photo
is of Paiutes in Yosemite. Chief Tenaya, who
was born at Mono Lake, took several hundred
of our people to live in Yosemite. There
Chief Tenaya established the Paiute Colony of
Ahwahnee after many of the original Ahwahnees
died of a diease that was brought to this
land. I also want to thank Gayle
Hansen-Johnson for her beautiful singing. If
you ever find her CD, buy it or you can
contact her at ghansonjohnson@yahoo.com for
cd information.
