Thanks for posting this. It gave me a sense of the shoreline habitat and motivated me to pop over there and look for tiger beetles. Unfortunately, I didn't find the species I was looking for (there are records are from Little Soda from the 1940s, and I'm wondering if the rising water table from the Newland's Project is to blame. Do you know when that rise occurred; was it gradual over decades?
I was stationed outside of Fallon in 1964 when there was nothing there but the lake and a few dead trees. Looks like there may be a few houses there now. There also used to be an old stone hut built over a Geo Themal Spring not to far away. I suppose that is long gone. MY question is per local history at the time. I was told that this was an old soda mine that flooded while it was being mined. Heard nothing about it being a crater at the time. Little Soda Lake ids right next to it. I loved that area and during the two years I was stationed there I did quite a bit of exploring. Tons of history there old west as well as geographic history.

I would like to know what happened to the second trip mentioned and if the participants found any information from their trips to Soda Lake?
Can you imagine the 6 hour ride with this chick who was narrating the video. By the time you got to sofa lake you would have enough credits for a PHD
What happened, it’s been 10 years?!
