I'm back in Berkeley now, but the last days of my August field work deserve sharing. I was at the SNARL field station talking with frog biologist Thomas C. Smith about Confluence and we were wondering if the watershed that supplies Los Angeles (in which we were, toward the top of the Owens Valley) has a place where it meets the north-east drainages going through Reno or into Walker Lake and the Nevada desert AND the western drainage running into the Central Valley and to San Francisco Bay. It would be the middle of my project, water-wise, where a few inches difference would mean that rainfall would end up in LA, Reno, or San Francisco Bay. I went looking for that spot.
