Escape rain, snow in Imperial Looking out at the bleak winter sky, the seemingly endless rain beating against your windowpane, you dream of a better place, a place with lasting sunshine, If you have the time to take a motor trip, there's no reason only to dream about such a place. Just hop in your car and take off for the Imperial Valley, where it seldom rains, never snows, Californians fondly call it the "Upside-Down Valley," points out the National Automobile Club, its seasons being the opposite to seasons in the rest of the nation. Although it's now winter, don't go by the calendar in this valley. It's really summer there, as proved by its current average temperature that ranges in the 70's and 80's;
Once as desolate as the arid desert areas that surround it, the Imperial Valley went through quite a transormation over the past 60 years, By harnessing the mighty Colorado River, man turned this valley into one of our nation’s great agricultural and recreational centers, Once considered to be nothing but a wasteland, the Salton Sea in the valley now ranks as one of the foremost centers in the West for water-skiing, boating, and fishing. . Indeed, game fishing has become a major sport in this sea, awith an estimated three million corvina inhabiting the water, with many of them: weighing 15 pounds or more. And the ColoValley rado River itself, advises NAC, offers plentiful: catches of bass and catfish, Then, too, you have hundreds of miles of canals that crisscross the valley in which to try your angling luck, But, should golf be your sport, you won't lose out either. For you have literally dozens of championship courses all over the valley from which to choose. And you just can't beat the scenery in the valley, especially in the southeastern. part. Fithara,/ this \part contains -a vast exp: of. sand dunes. ‘Those picturesque dunes that lie about 25 miles east of Brawley, for example, measure about 40 miles in length, about four miles in width, And some of them, “according to NAC, stand as high as 90 feet. Miles ot sand dunes also lie east of Calexico, the town that shares the Mexican border wit Mexicali, its Mexican sister city. Just walkacrosstheborder . “18%, presto, you're in Old Mexco, For that added treat, take © advantage of some clear night in the valley and gaze at the stars, For these stars will appear. to be about the brightest you've ever seen. = ¢.2ere Zs When tired of the downpour that Seemingly never stops, escape to the "Upside-Down Valley," where it seldom rains,
