Southern California's Salton Sea was a bustling tourist destination in the 1950s and 1960s (Credit: Rman 348 at English Wikipedia,/Public domain,/Wikimedia Commons)

In 1905, water from the Colorado River broke through an irrigation canal and flooded a dry lake bed called the Salton Sink in Southern California. The flooding continued for two years, creating a pristine 400-square-mile lake. The Salton Sea, as it was called, became an instant vacation hotspot. Its sandy beaches and warm water drew millions of visitors every year. Filled with fish from the Colorado River, it also drew migratory birds looking for food in the desert.

                I feel so bad for the people who live in California! My grandpa lives right next to the Salton Sink! I hope the flood didn't do any damage. Thank you for all you're doing to get the lake back!
