A Miracle in the Desert

Episode Summary

In this episode we talk a little bit of California geography and the man-made phenomenon, the Salton Sea!

Episode Notes

"A miracle in the desert" is how people referred to the Salton Sea in the 1950s and 1960s when this man-made lake was a popular tourist attraction. In its prime, the Salton Sea attracted more tourists than Yosemite. In this episode we discuss the rise and demise of the Salton Sea and the unintended consequences of tampering with nature.
