If we could even out the water supply east and west of the Rockies everybody would have what they need. Right now there isn't enough water in the Colorado River to supply all the written compacts about it. How far are you from the beach Parts? I could get to a good one in 40 minutes on a good driving day and a really good (Seacliff @ Aptos) one in two hours. I haven't been to a beach in about 7 months. We have Harbor Seals in the greater SF Bay and they are outstanding animals.
