Salton Sea Area



While the sea supports fish, including Talapia, it is amazing that any plant

Here red peppers grow in vast numbers!


Orange and other citrus groves are everywhere.

Here, an elaborate set of conveyors move califlower heads that the men in
the field cut off. The women in the tractor wrap the heads in plastic and
place them in boxes ready to be shipped to the grocery store!
