| 説明 | (1 in a multiple picture album)One of the most beautiful settings for a lake is the one where Convict Lake presents itself. It seems to flow out of a junction of two peaks. Belying its serenity is the fact that the lake was named for a bloody incident. Twenty inmates of the Nevada State Prison in Carson, NV broke free. Some made it over 100 miles southwest to this lake. A posse caught up with them there and a gunfight ensued. Men were killed on both sides of the fight. This incident seems to out of place at a serene spot like this, but perhaps it was preordained as the former name for the body of water was Lake Diablo (Devil in Spanish). Most of the outlaws were captured but a few made it to the lake which was a dead end. Some were shot and two were hung. A lawman lost his life there and the mountain behind the water, Mount Morrison, is name for him.Still, despite all the foreboding history, I wished I was one of the two men fishing that morning. They seemed to have a lake to themselves. |
