Fifty Feet or More Underwater

I walked along the "old road" to see how far I could go before it got too squishy. Turns out it was only a mile.

There is water, a few birds, and some vegetation. This morning I saw two pelicans and a redwing blackbird. There are small shells sprinkled along the bottom. I think they are the remains of mussels. Before the drought, the lake had a mussel infestation they were trying to eradicate. The drought might have done it for them.

A no longer used bridge. I could not discover why this bridge was built.

I usually look at these trees from the angle in the next picture. There is a lot of vegetation growing in the lake bottom. Some of it is over 6 feet tall.
