I was conceived there but born across the country. I have never had very good experiences there and found that I wanted to leave shortly after arriving each time.

Was just, minutes ago, talking to a sibling who still lives there and they said they don't think selling the water is a very good idea. They said they flew in yesterday, they fly a lot, and the reservoirs looked pretty good but this is April and that could change by the end of May.

Owens Valley always intrigued me. I learned about its water depletion when I traveled the length of the valley every week in my semi... blows me away at how that all happened.

I decided not to be one of the many needing water in the west and moved to the other end of the country hoping my final years will be free of water worries, pr at least those kind of water worries.
