What happened to Utah's Saltair Resort?
In 1893, the Mormon church built a state-of-the-art resort called the Saltair. It was to be a “Coney Island of the West” and a “wholesome place of recreation” for Mormons and their families. Saltair’s success peaked during the 1920’s, averaging nearly a half-million visitors per year. After multiple devastating fires, developers attempted to rebuild the Saltair bigger and better.
I discovered the story of the Saltair when my dad gave me a box of dry plate negatives that were found in my great-great aunt’s attic in the 1960’s. One of the negatives was of the original Saltair resort, taken during the late 1890’s. A second Saltair resort was built on the site of the original in 1926, but the resort’s glory days seemed to go up in smoke after the first fire in 1925. Saltair II was completely abandoned by 1958 and destroyed by arson fire on November 12, 1970.
A third Saltair was built in 1981 roughly one mile west of the original site, but it never came close to the popularity of its predecessors. It sat vacant from the 1990s to mid 2000s until being purchased by music industry investors in 2005. Saltair III has been hosting regular concerts ever since.
If you’d like to visit the original Saltair resort site for yourself, plug these coordinates into Google Maps: 40.769739, -112.154298. Park your car in the little dirt area by the green gate, or in the patch of dirt alongside N Temple Frontage Road. There’s a small hiking entrance to the left of the green gate. Once through, you will walk diagonally to the west to get to the remains of the original Saltair pier, which start at 40.770876, -112.159875.

    Today with an extended drought and aquifers in the desert getting low, those high population centers along the Pacific coast need to get serious about desalination plants to supply their needs. Look to Israel for the technology. Americans looking for the inexpensive and easy solution will be casting greedy eyes on Canadian fresh water and how to steal that soon.

    The expansion of the aqueduct didn't take water from Mono Lake, as it is saline. I did in fact divert water from 7 tributary streams and cause sever harm to the ecosystem there.

    Water may become the next war if global warming materializes and common drought takes places. Only if we can capture most of the runoff from the Sierra into lakes where they once were and new reservoirs. The other option is to control the weather.

    California, not just Los Angeles County, should follow Southern Nevada's example of real water conservation practices,.. southern Nevada, specifically Las Vegas metropolitan area in Clark County has been recapturing most of its water usage, 90% of it, then cleans it and recycles the water back to Lake Mead so that it could be reused,..because of this, the Las Vegas metropolitan area which includes the cities of Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas, has more than doubled in population from the 1980s, yet now manages to use less water now than what it did in the 1980s.

    "Hogwash" as they used to say. A $24,500,000.00 total budget runs out of money in just over 3yrs on just the simple labor, which by most accounts was about 5,000 workers @.70 an hr, which would have been a dismal wage given that was an avg in western states for general labor in "cities" at that time. If one wished to cut timber in nice cool forests he'd earn. 75cents an hr. This was a "reclamation" project, which did require cleanup and dredging of an existing system that mostly survived the last cataclysmic reset. And this isn't a one off water system project, the same narrative of "miraculous engineering, record time" is in every single county across the globe between 1850-1910s. We been played, and sadly it appears another reset will soon be set upon current plebs. 😏

    California's politicians and oligarchs are so busy stealing all the money meant to support the state's infrastructure they haven't gotten around to noticing we have trillions of gallons of water just to the left if you're facing north. Its called the Pacific ocean. they could build several desalinization plants and bring us water. And or build huge water catching facilities to harvest the water when it rains. They can also build systems that would catch trash before it gets to the ocean from the many drains that run from the interior cities. The oligarchs are so accustom to steal the money from California's coffers without getting caught, they can't stop themselves. We pay a lot of taxes in California and the state takes out a lot of loans to operate. The money is there.
