Sorry for the delay is field photos. Spotty data coverage in some places and trying to make use of all the daylight I have today. To start my adventure on Owens Lake, within 20 minutes I sank in the playa mud. So that was fun. 1/
Found some small sand boils out on northwest portion of the lake. Many of them seemed aligned along N10W to N-S. Interesting? #OwensLakeEarthquake 2/
After the lake I headed up to the Whitney Portal trailhead/campground. On the way saw these rockfall scars on the canyon slopes. #owenslakeearthquake 3/
When I got to the lower trailhead parking lot I saw this scar in the asphalt and an illegally parked boulder. “Something is *afoot*!”, I whispered to myself. #OwensLakeEarthqauke 4/
Soldiering on I happened upon this scene! What is the world could have *snapped* this poor little tree?! Could it have come from way up there?

Turning around I found the culprit! Just your run of the mill 8 m x 8 m x 8 m granite boulder. And sans camping permit no less. #OwensLakeEarthquake 6/
I was standing right next to it to take the photo looking of the potential path, but when I walked all the way around it I saw that it hadn’t quite settled in yet and was lodged up against this poor pine tree.

Also, it turns out, huge boulder kick up a lot of dust when they fall 1,000 feet or so. These backpackers might be a smidge confuses when they hike out this week. #owenslakeearthquake 8/
This is the likely source area and the out of slope tabular jointing is just right for rockfalls. Statically stable, but you kick by hem around a little with a M5.8 quake and they get to movin’ sometimes. #owenslakeearthquake 9/
That’s all for now. It’s been a fun day so far! Here’s the big (beautiful) picture to leave you with. #owenslakeearthquake 10/end
