Mountain Lake, the resort used in Dirty Dancing, is near Virginia Tech. I've been there a ton. Today, my friend, Karen, forwarded her friends a web address. Mountain Lake has dried up!
From the Roanoke Times:
The cause of the drain is not as simple as drought or even climate change. In fact, it's cyclical.
Mountain Lake may be the only known lake in the world to periodically disappear, sometimes for decades. This phenomenon has been recorded since the 18th century and may be related to earthquakes.
