Every time I see the Owens Lake bed, it intrigues me that there used to be such a big lake there until LA drank it. It seems from what I read no one really cared about keeping it a lake, but then of course the dry lake bed became a huge problem and I'm glad they are fixing it. I try to imagine a steamboat hauling mined materials across it to Cartego, and I also try to imagine the photos I could take with such a lake reflecting the magnificent Sierras behind them.
