I've read some books and stuff on the USBR back in the day. Bunch of property stealing bastards.
This is what I'm paddling over. The town of Mormon Island.

Don't get me started with the BOR. My home lake (Berryessa) was totally decimated by the incompetence of that Gov. agency, in cahoots with the Sierra club etc. Google if you're so inclined.Quote:

That is really sad what they did at Lake Berryessa. I've been going there since late 60's.Quote:

It's currently at 386'...when it drops to 360' it dead pools which means no water going out.....I hope the DLB likes salt water. ;)Quote:
