I paddled my kayak out into Mono Lake on a beautiful clear morning. The water was smooth like glass.
I paddled toward the South Tufa area. The Tufa on the smooth water of Mono Lake looked surreal.

| Swimming in Mono Lake - you float very good on Mono Lake - The minerals in the water feel like soap and gets you very clean - some of the same minerals are in the water that are in borax - The next time you swim in fresh water you will already have the soap cleaner on you and will feel very slippery. |
Mono Lake is among the oldest lakes in North America - it is at least 760,000 years old and probably older.
