Whoa, that's sad. Haven't seen that lake but I was at Hoover Dam a couple weeks ago. I generally stop and look there every year or two. It looks bad.

I don't understand why some of the overage of water in the east can't be diverted to the west. Sure, it would be expensive to truck it but why not haul it on trains. The network is there, the government is paying for the problem which is going to trickle down to us no matter how we handle it. Seems like a lateral move to me. WAYYY more snow and rain in the east than we can deal with.

Horrible picture of Lake Oroville. Lake Shasta looks just the same and they're still releasing water from the dam to protect the salmon run which I feel they shouldn't. Salmon will remain in the ocean for additional years if they can't get to their spawning grounds because of drought conditions. Long before humans were around, they did just fine in dry years or decades, and somehow managed to survive without our intervention. Now the Native Americans and commercial fisherman go into a panic when there is a slow year for salmon and demand federal help.
It's going to get really interesting when they shut down the hydroelectric turbines on Oroville and Shasta in the coming weeks. We're already barely keeping the lights on, and those two dams produce a lot of power for the state. I'm ready to get the heck out of here.PoleCrusher, PPDCT, dwells40 and 3 others Thank this. -
I get what you're saying, generally, but some stuff requires human intervention.PoleCrusher and PPDCT Thank this. -

Sounds like a real #### show out there.
Far as rates I ended up ####ing myself too Joe. Lost a $1200 backhaul late in the day Friday. But, getting my guy home is what I promise and that’s what we do.
Reciever took forever because the broker didn’t make an appointment. Therefore, the next load couldn’t be gotten in time. Gotta love brokers and crappy shippers/receivers.Brettj3876, PoleCrusher, PPDCT and 3 others Thank this. -

The Native Americans that were here before Europeans arrived knew the importance of fire mitigation, and did controlled burns every year. When the first Spanish explorers arrived in 1542, their name for what is now San Pedro Harbor was Baya de los Fumos with means Bay of Smoke. There were wildfires burning along the coast when they first laid eyes on California. The ancient redwood trees some of which are over 2,000 years old show scars of dozens of fires over their life span. It's been going on forever, but now every time there is a new fire they blame it on global warming.Ruthless, PoleCrusher, dwells40 and 1 other person Thank this. -
