The full story can be found here. <br />http://convictlake.com/history.html<br /><br />More recently it was the site of the drowning of some teenagers being held in detention at a nearby facility. The boys fell through the ice and at least one rescuer was trapped and also drowned in the incident.Martha Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15797951661712327698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012697417276288973.post-68250946878346029672009-11-04T11:07:06.254-08:002009-11-04T11:07:06.254-08:00Lovely pics although I am a Big Bear freak I would...Lovely pics although I am a Big Bear freak I would like to see Mammoth but should I worry about a lake called Convict Lake?

Wasn't the water cold when Richard had to wade to retrieve? I had to smile that the kayak "got away" - too anxious for an adventure, I guess.
