                                            A rock fall triggered wet snow avalanche on the west side of Tony Grove Lake.

                             Over seven inches of water fell in the Tony Grove Area before Halloween, and moist freeze-thaw conditions,

                                like those in the first week in November, are ripe for rock fall

                                               A large chunk of limestone rests on top of a moist pile of snow and mud deposition.
