Great mini segment! I have been fascinated with the Salton Sea ever since I read about the legend of the lost Spanish galleon that MIGHT be under the seabed, which goes back to the geographic history of how many times the area has been covered with water. After reading about the flood that caused the sea that exists today, I penned a novel, which I originally titled RETURN OF THE SEA, but was later published by Penguin Random House as YUMA GOLD. I took the myth of the buried Spanish Galleon and combined the geographic and geologic history of that region. It was great fun to research, and I was glad to find this radio segment and know that other people care about it too.
