I first learned of the Salton Sea back around 2004, when I went to a showing of, Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea, at the local film festival. I commend the two creators of the memorable documentary for doing such a good job of showing what is so special about the sea and those who live near it.

California got a lot of rain earlier this year, breaking the drought. I’ve been wondering how the Salton Sea has been impacted. I would think that it was a shot in the arm for the old puddle.
