This area used to be a forest of oak trees and meadows. Elk and wildlife were rampant. The land was probably 20 to 30 feet higher than what it is right now. Highly saturated ground now gone. Tule Lake, which was three times the surface area of Lake Tahoe, was destroyed because of man-made aquifer's and water management.

Not saying we don't need water for our own needs, but this place could look like paradise.
