Et tu, Gummy? Death Vally Junction is near Pahrump, Beatty and the Saline Valley, some of the purest hot springs in the world. And Crystal Geyser bottles their mineral water just south of Bishop, CA near Olancha. And yes, there is water close to the surface of the desert out there. Its actually a beautiful place, especially Saline. I think we all ought to take a trip to the hot springs relax a little! Things are getting too crazy around here!
