Yes, yes SoCal got it's water care of the Mullholland boys. At great great cost. You see, once upon a time Central Cal. was eden. A paradise that even the Spanish explorers were amazed at. Filled with Grizzly bears, cougars, trees, lakes, it was an amazing sight to be sure. Tulare lake, a once great inland lake, is long gone. As is Owens lake, all diverted to the LA aquaduct. LA has taken a huge toll on Ca. Here is a picture of the area before the Owens river was diverted....the once flourishing ecosystem, which flourished here for tens of thousands of years, is long gone and extinct. Just like the California Grizzly bear. The only way you can even tell they were ever here, is because for some reason it is still on the Ca. state flag.
