There goes all those "Keep Tahoe Blue" bogus bumperstickers! Right down the drain!!!

This "clarity" thang with Lake Tahoe has been around longer and is just as bogus as "Global Warming!" (that it's a manmade problem, that is)

[EagleUSA]

The problem is that the aging enviro-nutcase-whacko hippies can't see that well anymore and need glasses....

[SierraWasp]

Din't there used ta be a FReeper named "clarity" that was a lawyer? I think so...

[Dog Gone]

Oh yeah, but I wouldn't go poking around that old wound.

[SierraWasp]

It's interesting to note that we had to 'accept' the gentrification of Mirror Lake at Yosemite, and let it become a muddy frog pond for some reason, but we cannot 'accept' the same exact process at Tarhole; why is that?

I loved the "Keep Tahoe Red, White, and Blue" stickers, and I never knew where I could get one.

[GOP_Raider]

There. Much better.

Thank you. I will really sleep a lot better tonight in Maui because I Lake Tahoe is the same as last year.

Lake Tahoe, and the Truckee River. Brings back the good old days, before marriage, kids, and responsibility.

Too much clarity in a lake can be a sign of a lake in decline.

Clear water may be pretty but it is also lifeless.

Say what? As I understand it, there's really no question that modern development has reduced the clarity of the lake. The only thing this article suggests is that the remediation efforts are working.

And I wish those old worn out enviro-wacko "Save Mono Lake" bumper stickers would disapear too. The lake has been filling for over decade.

There's a lake up there?

Tahoe is one of the truly fabulously beautiful places anywhere. And it is rimmed with developement as a result.

The people pollution is somewhat bad for the lake but being able to see a dinner plate at 76 feet is still very good.

Mirror lake was a small lake that is now almost mirror meadow via natural processes at yosemite.

Tahoe becoming dirty is a man made one.
