Davenport Pier
The concrete pillars are the remains of an old pier from the 1930s that was used to load cement for shipment. There's still a cement factory on the site, just across the coastal highway, but the pier long ago was abandoned. It is possible to make your way down to the beach, and there were people on the beach when I was there.
Soda Lake — Carrizo Plain National Monument
The Carrizo Plain National Monument blooms with wildflowers every spring. The yellow patches are wildflowers. This is an aerial view over Soda Lake. Soda Lake evaporates and becomes a dry lake bed in the summer. The water deposits are where the lake has already evaporated.

However, decisions with major economic impacts should not be made by unelected boards in a democracy. Legislatures are excessively delegating their authority.
