A great read is a book called
Cadillac Desert.

Nope. The Colorado River no longer reaches the Gulf. It gets used before that.
Cadillac Desert is a great book. The videos are not to be missed either. They are, if anything, even more graphic. It's a must read for anyone who wants to understand Calfornia. Mulholland was a genius.
It's one reason I welcomed the chance to move to Arkansas.
