Yes, a very dry year. Mike had to hike over the barren exposed bottom of Lake Edison to get to the Vermilion Resort shuttle pick-up point (the shuttle boats this year, by necessity, are extremely modest aluminum affairs with small outboard motors).
One would think that if SCE was going to cut down trees to create a lake, that they would then deem it necessary to keep the lake filled. Bwah-ha-ha-ha!
And then, after arriving at the opposite shore, an extremely bumpy ride back to the trailhead in an old Ford, and then the short walk to Mike’s parked Infiniti.
