If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Grandparents settled in Borrego Springs in 1957. We lived in the Coachella Valley (what is now La Quinta). When the Borrego Salton Seaway was built
through the badlands in 1968 it provided a convenient shortcut. I still remember the area in all its untouched glory. Borrego Springs was so small
the kids went to school in Julian.

Borrego is still pretty small--4,000 people or so, impressive being so close to the big cities. When the mayor is elected they receive a traffic
signal to put in their office--and they must take a vow never to install one during their term.

One reason the town of Borrego Springs remains "small" is that it is served by a small aquifer (fossil water) that has been drastically drawn-down by
the agriculture and golf-courses there over the years, and is not being replenished that much due to lack of precipitation. Coyote Creek is the only
full-time creek in the Valley, and it is tiny. Even the famous "Borrego Palm Canyon" creek does not run all year round on the surface, normally.
The water-battles continue to this day, even though Ag has been reduced very significantly.
