Thx Kevin - I have not been able to get down this year - covid and other complications!! This is a great update - SCARY!!! If you - or anyone - could take similar pics of Halls - our HB is in dry storage there. Thx again.
 
The white arrow you placed indicates a tiny drainage slot which is not the shortcut. There is a broad low U-shaped saddle in the Navajo sandstone ridge slightly above and to the right of your arrow. At 3670 the water began to cover that saddle so it was wide and easy to cross to Halls which lies immediately west, behind that ridge. On another recent post with older Bullfrog photos there are a couple pictures showing this saddle when lake was full enough so that it was covered. It looks just like it’s part of the Bay. That little canyon you marked is below the water level necessary to flood the saddle, and would have been covered up and invisible to boaters. The “way” was not narrow such as this Canyon might be. It was wide and open and you simply hit the gas and cruised from one bay to the next without a worry or a care. Go check out those photos in the other post. Search Bullfrog.
 
Look at the photo posted by Raven towards the end of the thread Bullfrog 1976 plan and you’ll see the saddle flooded and her comment sheds a tear or two

I did wonder but went conservatively with the arrow. Now I can see the whiter cliffs beyond are on the southern edge of Halls.

We hiked up to the cutoff about 8 years ago. You would not believe the number of people who thought it wise to carve up the sandstone at the top. There are hundreds of etched names in the sandstone demonstrating varying degree of artistic talent. They seemed to date back to the early 2000s. Maybe in 100+ years it will be looked at as a historic artifact.
 
Thanks for that great paper, Dorado. To call them 'invasive' is truly an understatement. In the 70s when I first started scuba diving, I'd clean boat bottoms in SD bay for beer money. The owners were always complaining of the barnacles sometimes doubling their fuel consumption, and some boats couldn't even get on plane!

I'd bet that same issue is now occuring at LP.....

:unsure:
 
It is, I’ve seen boats at Offshore and in other places where they were covered with mussels. Sq
