One picture doesn't do it justice as you are driving essentially in a desert and then there is this huge lake, the Salton Sea. I visited it last month and it was quite amazing. It has been shrinking over the century as it was the result of massive flooding in the distant past. I wonder if it will expand some this year with all the rain and snow melt coming? We shall see. This is an important stopover for migrating birds and a wonderful area to visit.
