Alex and I took a long drive to see wildflowers at Carrizo Plain. It was supposed to be filled with wildflowers, but either it's an off season or we were too early. I took a picture of the ONE flower we saw. Soda lake was pretty cool though. Here is what the sign said about it: "The large basin before you is all that remains of a prehistoric sea. One of the largest undisturbed alkali wetlands in the state, the 3,000 acre lake provides important habitat for migratory birds. With no outlet, the water evaporates, leaving behind a glistening expanse of sodium sulfate and carbonate salts that appear to ripple and sway in the heat waves of summer."
