Disappearing Lakes & Cracks in the Ground

We read in Day's End about a kiosk area that had room to park rv's. It was near Silver Lake so decided to go there in order to do a side trip to Christmas Valley to see the Crack in the Ground. The first thing we noticed was NO lake even though our GPS clearly shows it. But there is a Table rock we can see out the other side of the motorhome. 

What is the Crack in the Ground you ask? Check the link out. We hiked to it and went down and took our own pictures but didn't go too far even though it is two miles long. 

We took pictures of each other at the same time when we arrived.
