I was very sad riding across the west with the GPS showing a lake off to the side then seeing nothing but a dry lake bed.
Loved returning to the green landscape coming back hope....green means life....brown not so much ;-(
Made me think what a blessing rain is.....distilled purified water.
Had a worker in CA say CA feeds the rest of the US with it's crops....I thought maybe with fruits, vegetables....but watching all those fields of grain mile after mile....maybe not.
I did see tremendous amounts of water being used for irrigation in very hot dry conditions....made me wonder how efficient the use of that water was given the increase evaporation rates, etc.
