Sad really.The 38-mile-long, 17-mile-wide Carrizo is considered to be the last vestige of what the 300-mile-long San Joaquin Valley looked like before agriculture took over; its ecosystem essentially extends another 50 or so miles to the north toward Highway 46 east of Paso Robles. “This is the last remaining facsimile of the grasslands that once covered all of California,” explained Malkin over the rumble of the propeller. “When it’s gone, it’s gone.” Throw in the antelope, elk, a few roving coyotes and cougars, eagles of the bald and golden variety, some fairy shrimp, songbirds galore, and the occasional California condor, and there’s little wonder why Carrizo has been called “California’s Serengeti.”
Well, what can we do? We all enjoy modern living. There's a massive (Australian owned) solar array going in at the north end of this. All the roads were made bigger to accommodate semi trucks. The alternative is to re-permit the nuke plant down on the beach near Avila. The nuke stores it's own waste, on site in pools. Oh boy.Diogenes wrote: I had never heard of this referred to as "California's Serengeti".
Yes it is sad.
