Hello Unalayee Friend,
Well, the Mosquito Lake Basin may be covered in snow (and hopefully will be for many more months), and as strange as it is to think of sunbathing at the lake while wearing your scarves and winter coats, it is in fact time to start getting ready for summer camp!
I spent the New Year’s holiday up at our Trinity Alps base camp and I’m happy to report that there is already a good layer of snow covering our basin. As those of you that live in California know, we still need a lot more rain to recover from the extreme drought we are in, but the good news is that we are in a much better place than we were last year at this time. Up at Camp we have already exceeded the total precipitation for the 2013-2014 weather year – and we still have six more months to go!
I’d like to invite you to check out the photos from our trip on Picasa. We have also been having fun comparing the snow levels from New Year’s 2014 and 2015 on Facebook.
Here is one of our recent comparisons: the Mosquito Lake outlet (2014 on the left, 2015 on the right).
Back in the Bay Area we are getting quite busy planning for this coming summer. Enrollment is in full swing, we’re taking applications for summer staff positions, and everyone is starting to gather all the equipment we need for the summer – including an upgrade to our vehicle fleet!
I’m looking forward to seeing you soon and counting the days till we are back together in our summer home.
Sincerely,
Sarah Camp

Be the firstĀ to e-mail us with the correct answer and we’ll send you a tote bag!
