Taken: November 23, 2007
Caption: Entrance Sign for Mono Lake Tufa State Reserve
Additional Description: The entrance sign as seen from the marker location. In the background on picture left several tufa towers are visible. These are formed when calcium-rich spring water enters carbonate-rich alkali waters, as in Mono Lake. At the time Dolan was killed, these would have been submerged, as the lake level is some 20 feet lower than when the Los Angeles Department of Power and Water started diverting water from the lake in 1941.
