I know they have been going back and forth over cleaning up the Salton Sea for years now. Last I checked there was a plan to section off a portion of the lake and then de-salt the bigger portion. Don't know what, if any, progress has been made.

But that would be a beautiful lake if it were cleaned up. Large body of water in a very scenic area, and much closer to LA than the river.

Can I sue Los Angeles if their boycott reduces my AZ property value?!?

Sonny Bono was the main guy pushing for the clean-up. Think all the plans and effort died with him. Mary Bono was to carry on the plans, but nothing has been done. Discovery Channel runs a documentry about it about every 3 or 4 months. Pretty sad to watch.

I thought there might be if the ran East-West instead of South-North. How long is the total run lenght needed for a kilo run.

You got a warm up area, then a 1/4 mi to set the boat then the Kilo and shut down, it's a long run!..
