Hand Lake, it had mostly become a mud flat due to the severe drought So, instead of an Alpine lake, the trip partir ipants got to see a "tremendous amount of butterflies" who get their water from mud and pier es of worked obsidian, including arrowheads and such. Since it is illegal in Oregon to in any way handle or remove native peoples’ artifacts, these were simply admired They also got to see a native frog, which was unexpected at the high altitude Frog populations at su< h heights have experi enced a decline, which some scientists have linked to the depletion of the ozone layer.
