I've been through the desert in a car with no name

It seems that just about any place you visit, community groups are getting run over by interests with large pots of money.  We stopped at a gas station/casino/motel on the Utah/Nevada border and learned that Las Vegas wants to divert a huge amount of water from the Snake Valley, home to Indians, ranchers, and wildlife.  A group of locals trying to retain their water and their way of life have organized to fight the diversion.

In the west water and water rights are a big issue.  I hope the Snake Valley residents win, but there is an old saying out here:  “Water flows downhill, except when it flows uphill toward money.”
