Mediocre and Blaise peak.... hahaha, no just kidding.

This night we stayed at a pretty popular lake called Notch Lake in the Uintas in Utah.
Wow, the water level looks super low. Had me thinking it was Wall Lake or Trial Lake with that waterline, but I couldn't square up how close it was to Reid's Peak and Bald Mountain.

Drought.
There is now only a peninsula surrounded by mud, but not water. Notch is a reservoir, so it seems it is just open and draining, but Clegg, Dean, a lot of the ponds, they were still water up to the edge, but that is likely just because at some point they just start to evaporate more than drain, and it is only June still.

I had no idea Notch was a reservoir. Very interesting, and also depressing seeing it so low.
