Lake Lewisia #1192

Scientific expeditions had gone out onto the lake many times over the years, seeking to understand the body of water around which the environment and the town both had grown. They had tried to fathom it with stones on ropes and with complicated scientific instruments, only to find that the answer changed not just from spot to spot but from day to day, according to some unknown whim of the lake bed itself. The researchers learned to bring lunches, and books or other amusements, in case it turned out to be a deep day, leaving them waiting long hours for their devices to reach a bottom that only sometimes deigned to exist.
