The Living Desert

@Chris Ladewig Ah, excuse me then, I had no idea there was more than one Pyramid Lake, especially since the one I am familiar with is in Northern California/Nevada.

"That's a different pyramid lake the one I lived near was next to the I-5 freeway in Calif.. Not that large as lakes go."

It's on the grapevine going from central California to So. California. I drive by it often. It's beautiful.

 

@Linda Binning
So, the L.A. Water Commission has not drained that one dry, as it has others? Commendable! Frank

 

I don't think so Frank. I'll check when I go down again July 7th. To be honest, when we came by there a few days ago I had taken a Xanax so I'd sleep on the drive home. (I wasn't the driver. I'm sure it still has plenty of water in it. I think it's a really beautiful area.

 

Enjoyed beautiful pictures and learned much. I found out that prickly pear cactus stops diabetes 2.
This article from webmd has a lot of information about prickly pear cactus.

Here's a story of a lake appearing mysteriously in the desert of Tunisia, in august of 2014.

 

@Joe Riley

Incredible story, Joe! That lake is pretty deep. Small enough that it likely would not be spotted by routine satellite imaging work, which I suppose does not waste it's time scanning open desert. 2.6 acres is plenty large enough to spot by satellite. Frank

 

Yeah, Frank, those folks got a new address....Gafsa Beach!
