Yeah, I remember driving down hwy 99 a few years back and seeing all that "valuable" farm land laying fallow for lack of water. With huge billboards blaming Congress !

Are you telling me it's more profitable to not plant crops (where's the Profit$ in that?), than it is to grow hemp, which uses relatively very little water ?

Are you aware of the. Thousands of products made with hemp ?

With this whole push to get off fossil fuels, Hemp would be the rational #1 choice, since it can do Anything petroleum can do....Better !

Who's the largest Ag landowner in usa ? Pill Gate$... Is that a clue ?

I don't live close anymore, but this is what good memories looks like. I miss this spot.

Great movie!

I was there in 2021 on the Argentina side, and saw a cayman(?) in the water, so yes. They are definitely in the area.

I get industrial hemp. Have followed its progress for years. But it is more a replacement for other crops in the Mid US like North and South Dakota, and in Canada. California farm land is mostly too valuable to grow "hemp" Much Soybean (in the south) is also used in spin off industries not just for cattle feed or human consumption.

Thanks!

From Anchorage, it just looks like a huge lump. But when you get up close, as this beautiful photo amply demonstrates, you see it is anything but boring!

Yes, from up on top of Island in the Sky towards the La Sal Mtns.

Genuinely thought this was Arkansas. Had to scroll back up and check

That's a perfect spot for a Minecraft house.

The photo feels very fresh. I would like to crawl into it and sleep in that grass.

Wow! We were there 10 years ago or so. The water level has certainly risen since then!

Thanks for introducing me to this place. Now I have a new destination I have to visit this summer.

Beautiful photograph.

I do! My IG is cg_carrots if you want to take a look :)

Amazing

I don't think there's anything wrong with that, I'm just always curious to know when photos were taken. Thanks for letting me know :)

Most people don’t know about the other side, also the hike is a little tougher because it’s a good deal longer and starts right off the bat with climbing up the backside of Manitou Mountain.

Ya, we should do that next time. The front parking lot is nuts.
