I've never been to Mono Lake, but will be spending a couple days there week after next on my way to Crater Lake and the OR coast.
I was reading something in a non-photographic magazine that said the tufa spires are much diminished now because the lake is much more full than it was in decades past as a result of some save Mono Lake efforts.
What's the story from folk who have been there recently and/or over time? Do they still have that alien world look or are they now largely covered up?
I'm still going, but want to adjust my expectations...
