NASA "Tulare Lake, in California’s San Joaquin Valley, was once the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River. The lake would grow every winter as rainfall and snowmelt from the nearby Sierra Nevada range flowed down and filled the basin. By 1920, the rivers that fed the lake were dammed and diverted for uses such as irrigation. Since then, the lakebed has been covered with farms that grow a variety of crops."

@NorthernInvader I have been fascinated by (the unfortunately disappeared) #TulareLake, then 2023 said here it is again. And here I thought it’s only revenge was the dense Tule fog. But it’s actually back.
