California's 'phantom lake' returns with a vengeance (Bakersfield, Tulare: 2015, home)

[SFX]

Based on the latest sat image, May 1 2023, the next update from GreenGoodLabs is going to be epic.

Cool thing about this? You can see for yourself.

GreenGoodLabs is just using the NASA worldview sat dat now, which anyone can use to watch the growth of the zombie lake.

I've also been watching the smaller Owens lake (212 square miles), another lake the land barons killed, which is now back, And full.

It's here

The zombie lake keeps growing

Latest decent sat image

Because I look at the sat images every day, I noticed that the San Joaquin River has also returned to some of its former glory. Or disastrous flooding if you look at it from the human POV

Checked the news, but find little mention of this.

Compare May 2023 with last year, or pretty much every other year

Like with Lake Tulare, and the Northern Central Valley, I had no idea there used to be vast wetlands and a lot of water in the Central Valley, almost every year.

The Central Valley I drove through several times before, is completely man made. It was not a desert in the past.

The Kern river and Bakersfield are is also quite amazing to view.

June 1 2023

compare with last year

That view shows the Reservoir in the mountains, the river, and where the water is collecting, which used to be wetlands. Part of the massive lake/wetlands system in the southern Central Valley.

Remember if you will, the southern Central Valley, with its massive lakes, rivers and wetlands, was the largest native population in the the United States. Lake Tulare was the spiritual center of the world to them. It was sacred, and sustained the people of the earth. It was populated by native people since they arrived from Asia. Over 11,000 years earlier.

Here's a couple pictures taken last week. 6/17/2023 to be exact.

I just remembered that the original Lake Tulare, which was destroyed by the avarice and geed of white men, had islands. More than one.

Pelican Island evokes an era when Pelicans by the millions landed in the lake, and raised their brood on an island, in a giant lake, in the Central Valley.

The Lake was the center of the indigenous people, their culture, their lives. A lake full of beauty, food, shelter, life. The largest population of native Americans anywhere in the new world....


California dreaming ....
