I saw someone place a rock cache across from that low pier and use it to run across. So I guess that's a way, though I expect you might fall down a lot when trying to use it.

Hmm. Charlie claiming that this is her first survival game. Riiiiiighhht... (This is a Don't Starve reference. Same Canadian, same survival, different game...Heeeere's Charlie!)

Recently, while considering California's dwindling water reserves, I realized that hydro dams need bodies of water behind them to generate enough pressure to generate a good amount of electricity. This made me wonder about the Carter Dam reservoir - it isn't directly on Mystery Lake, but instead just a small river coming from the lake, and that appears to be the inflowing side. Existing infrastructure indicates that the water level probably couldn't have been significantly higher in the past, either. If the water instead flows the other way somehow, the terrain on the other side of the dam doesn't appear to have been particularly suitable for a reservoir either. Great mysteries of life. Mystery Lake, indeed!
