Lake Alpine II

Madeleine explores the shoreline of the reservoir-created lake, which today is stocked with trout and salmon presenting a prime recreational spot for the odd angler or (rare) camper at Ebett's pass. At the bottom of the lake (depth 15o feet or so) rests an old saw mill, abandoned when logging became restricted in Alpine County in the late 19th century. Here Madeleine shows off a digging apparatus, as she merrily constructs squirrel huts, water traps and beaver dams.
