| When they built the aqua duct to Los Angeles they lowered the water level significantly in this area and what you see is a salt flat where the water was removed. Water supply is a huge problem in California. Most people are reluctant to discuss it |

There are beautiful skies above the mountains in all of your Lone Pine photos.
Was it obvious where the beef cattle would get water? I can see they are fenced off from what looks like water - maybe it really is a salt flat. it's difficult to imagine much protein available for them from that terrain.
I love the face painted on the rock next the camper, where graffiti isn't allowed!
very nice scenery.
I think they should use this for salted beef like we had salted pork before freezers were available to everyone . LOL
