Can we go back a week?   "Do you remember? The kind of September..."

1:00 AM Saturday 11/23/13...   Listening to rain on the roof for 3rd night...

Or even last week when it was bone dry and dust choked the air?  I need to watch this video a couple times, close my eyes, click my heels three times and repeat, "There's no place like the dry lake.  There's no place like the dry lake..."

Another day of rain...   Some creep has been out on the lake already on dirt bike... ugh.


South of here in Phelan there is about 2" of snow.   Still raining and 41 degrees at the visitor center at 5:00 PM Friday.

Mixed day at El Mirage Dry Lake...   Rained most of the night.   By 5:30 AM the lake surface was damp but no standing water.   Took a ride out early to convey the conditions to the Ranger...




 Several cars had been out on the lakebed overnight.   No damage but the decision was to close the lake for the day...   Good call...   the rain came and went all day and now there's complete water cover and it's raining again at 5:30 PM. Colusa road is under water where it reaches the edge of the lake.

So What's to do the Weekend?    Come on out and enjoy the other 20,000 acres of mountains, dunes, trails and rocks!


Camp sites are high and dry and offer wonderful views of the El Mirage Valley!  



28,000 ACRES!    NO WAITING AT EL MIRAGE DRY LAKE!

Lots of action here on the lake last weekend!   I missed the land sail boats, but still plenty to see.   Film crew preparing, rocket launches, quads, ultra light air plane...   always families and always great coler here at El Mirage Dry Lake!   Just add water!






Photo Shoot by pros at El Mirage Dry Lake today!   Undisclosed company with an undisclosed client product has a team of about 40 people here today... Should be interesting!
