Pyramid Lake

Went to Pyramid Lake with Clay. It's on an Indian Reservation.  It's really cool, and deep blue.  We heard a few indian legends about the lake.  One was that the one stone formation is called the Stone Mother.  She was sitting at the water with her basket and she was crying because her two sons were fighting.  She turned to stone and her tears filled up the lake.  Another story we heard was that the indians would toss there newborn babies into the Lake.  If they would float, they were accepted and taken back out of the water to return with their family.  It they didn't float they were left to drown.  They have fishing contests at the lake.  There's a wall of photos there of the people would have caught some pretty huge fish.  Also the water turns itself over from the ground up to the service.  That happens about every 3 years.  In actuality the lake was formed from the over flow of Lake Tahoe in the form of the Truckee River.  When we were at Tahoe we saw where the river flowed out and where it flowed into the Pyramid Lake.
