Yea, Laura already knows how I feel about her situation. Lemme see......Hundreds of thousands of acres of DWP land that will never ever be built on or developed. Though the DWP put a stranglehold on the Owens Valley a hunded years ago, I'd hate to see what it would be like if the DWP hadn't done that. Not a popular sentiment in Bishop, but I'd rather have unlimited access to anywhere you want to go for hiking, fishing, exploring, hunting, mountain biking, motorcycle riding, boating and so on.....then to become Bakersfield East. Before the DWP screwed over the Owens Valley, it was the second largest agricultural Valley not just in Cali, but in the entire USA. I'm not a DWP fan....and they are probably the most screwed up, disfunctional organization in California with that much power. But, at least their former employees know where to retire. Yea, that's right, Bishop, CA.
Here's to you Laura.
