“BTW there is no water in China Lake. It is a dry lake bed.”

WHAT???? Are you sure??
Petey (unhitches ski boat from truck, unpacks truck with water skiing goodies, covers boat with tarp. Stomps inside. Decides to sleep with teal zinc coating on nose anyway) :D
Sorry but it is true.
From Wiki:
China Lake is a dry lake. Its name comes from Chinese men harvesting borax from the lake bed, approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of Paxton Ranch. The operation was known locally as “The Little Chinese Borax Works”.[7]
The Navy even built runways in the area.
