Salton Sea Outlook 2024
The Salton Sea, California's largest lake, has a rich history and a complex present. Once a bustling tourist destination, it has transformed into a shrinking and increasingly polluted body of water. This transformation is primarily due to a decline in Colorado River flow and agricultural runoff. Despite these challenges, significant efforts are underway to restore the Sea and mitigate its environmental impacts.

    Before the Salton Sea was created by mishap, there was no ecological importance to the area. It was a dry salt sink. Quit messing with it and let is go back to the way nature intended. Besides, it would be an irresponsible waste of good water.

    I still think pumping ocean water from the Sea of Cortez up into it and creating salt marsh wetlands or other native salt tolerant green cover is worth subsidizing.

    My prediction: New battery technology will not need the minerals this area has to offer so no efforts to mine it will occur. The lake will dry up and there will be air quality alerts, and no other expensive efforts will take place.

Along the drive I saw a couple Western Coachwhips too, all that in a day. Wish I could have stayed longer.

    Everyone is saying this rock 🪨 was uniquely formed and geologist say no glaciers were in the area when it was formed. Rocks don't show roundness and errosion that is just wind and rainfall. The mountain near it are full of round boulders. These boulders were formed in 3 ways. Glaciers rolling them. Oceans or Rivers rolling them. Since there is a mountain of round boulders it appears glaciers had to be involved.

    Eagle Mountain was a small, thriving, and family-oriented community, my family had strong ties to the place. My Grandfather, Ben Fermon, worked at the mine, while my grandmother was employed at the school. My mother, aunts, and uncles all attended school in Eagle Mountain. However, after the 1983 school year, Eagle Mountain High School closed, and my youngest uncle had to attend Indio High School. In 1976, my mother moved to Indio. I have two older brothers, and I was born in 1979. Due to illness, my grandfather also relocated to Indio, while my grandmother remained in Desert Center. Sadly, my grandmother Gladys Fermon passed away in 1985, followed by my grandfather Ben Fermon the next year. My mother, Diana Fermon, followed in my grandmother's footsteps and worked with children. After retiring as a kindergarten teacher, she passed away in 2020, leaving behind seven siblings and three sons. I am the youngest of the three. Im a Correctional Officer for the California Department of Corrections and served as the Mayor of Indio in 2022. I am currently a Councilmember. Despite the changes, there is still a deep sense of pride in our roots. I have vague memories of spending time in Desert Center as a young boy, and it saddens me to see the area disrespected with vandalism. With the purchase of Desert Center and Eagle Mountain, I believe that revitalization is on the horizon. I visit the area about twice a year, and I owe my existence to Eagle Mountain, as my grandfather and family moved from Utah to California to work at the mine. Without Eagle Mountain, I might not be here today.
