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,
