jimrankin Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Was up at Lake McClure (the first lake out of Yosemite Valley on the Merced river) yesterday to check on my stored for the drought houseboat. Things are not looking good at the end of our third drought year but still better than it was when our seven year drought ended 20+ years ago. In the photo with the boat nearing the old Yosemite Railroad bridge supports there is still water at four of them, at the end of the pervious drought only two were still in the water. The other photo shows one of the launch ramps, I'm standing at the high water mark and the ramp goes around to the right and ends several hundred feet from where the water is now.

jimrankin Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Correcting myself, the ramp in the previous photo turns left, not right and then down, and down, and dooowwwnnnn....to more dirt. This photo of the bridge towers is without telephoto and also shot from "full" lake level. The other photo is one of many parking lots usually filled with vacationers cars and boat trailers this time of year but now with our stored houseboats. I think that the name of the houseboat on the far left is very apropos, it's "Just Add Water". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
