El Capitan Reservoir

El Capitan Reservoir is a reservoir in central San Diego County, California. It is in the Cuyamaca Mountains, about 30 miles (48 km) northeast of the city of San Diego and two miles northwest of the town of Alpine. The reservoir is formed by El Capitan Dam on the San Diego River and has a capacity of 112,800 acre⋅ft (139.1 million m3). The 237-foot (72 m) dam is composed of hydraulic fill and was completed in 1934. The dam is owned by the city of San Diego (Originally owned by the Kumeyaae tribe) and its primary purpose is to supply drinking water. In order to make way for the construction of the dam, the native Kumeyaay people were forcibly relocated to the Capitan Grande Reservation. The amount of runoff that enters the reservoir varies considerably. During a 25-year period, it ranged from 1,000 to 70,000 acre⋅ft (1.2 to 86.3 million m3) per year (39 to 2,700 L/s). The water in the reservoir usually consists of runoff from above the dam, but in years of drought, water is sometimes transferred to it from San Vicente Reservoir, which is the terminus of the First San Diego Aqueduct. According to the City of San Diego's General Plan Seismic Element, Division of Safety of Dams engineers "restricted the maximum water surface of El Capitan Dam to an elevation 30 feet lower than spillway, although permitting the temporary storage of storm inflows above the specified level for short periods." This requirement was added after the 1971 San Fernando earthquake, where "a loss of about 30 feet of dam height resulted" at the Lower Van Norman Dam due to "liquefaction of the hydraulic fill on the upstream side of the embankment". There is limited recreation available at the reservoir. Boating is limited to canoes, kayaks, and row boats. Water contact such as personal water craft, standup paddle boarding, and water skiing are not permitted. Fishing is allowed all year, but the recreation is closed on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and the first Friday of each month. There is no camping at the lake. The nearest camping site is 8.5 miles (13.7 km) away at Lake Jennings or 12.5 miles (20.1 km) away at Viejas Campground.

El Capitán State Beach

El Capitán State Beach is a protected beach in the state park system of California. The most easterly of three state parks along the Gaviota Coast, it is located about 20 miles (32 km) west of downtown Santa Barbara, in Santa Barbara County. The beach is named for José Francisco Ortega, who retired from the Spanish Army in 1795 with the rank of captain and received the Rancho Nuestra Señora del Refugio as a land grant. Features El Capitán has a day-use beach as well as a campground with 131 sites (6 of which are RV only) and 5 group sites. There are tide pools on the beach and sycamore and oak trees in the campground area. Monarch butterflies congregate at El Capitán in autumn to breed. History The parkland was acquired between 1953 and 1967 and the State Parks Commission classified El Capitán State Beach in June of 1962. In 2002 the state acquired 2,500 acres (1,000 ha) at a discount from the owners of El Capitan Ranch. The property rises above the existing park through oak woodlands and chaparral to the ridgelines of the Santa Ynez Mountains. The Refugio oil spill occurred just north of nearby Refugio State Beach in 2015 when a pipeline carrying crude oil ruptured. The spill went into a culvert that ran under US 101 and into the ocean. The spill spread over 7 miles (11 km) of coastline, including El Capitán and Refugio state beaches. Both parks were closed for much of the summer during the clean-up, including during the typically busy Memorial Day weekend. The pipeline which caused the disaster is no longer in service. In 2016, the park's water system was destroyed when the Sherpa Fire swept through a canyon near the main campgrounds. The park had already closed due to the smoke and fire danger. In 2021, a project removed barriers for steelhead trout swimming upstream to reproduce by rebuilding the entrance bridge. In January 2023, the park water system and entrance road experienced catastrophic damage from significant rainfall, prompting evacuations of park staff and closing the park for repairs. Park damages from the storm totaled $11.9 million, the third most expensive damage caused by the storm system to California State Parks. An update to the 1979 General Plan which included an inventory of wildlife, historic, and archeological assets and an outline of issues and concerns was started in 2024. Gaviota State Park and Refugio State beach will be included in the recommendations for modernizing the infrastructure, adapting to climate change impacts and providing sustainable recreational opportunities.

El Coyote Cafe

El Coyote Cafe is a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles that opened on March 5, 1931. It is most notable for being the location of the final meal of four of the victims of the Manson family murders. History Opened in 1931 by Blanche and George March, the tiny cafe was originally located at First and La Brea. In 1951 El Coyote moved to its present location on Beverly Boulevard. Today there are eight rooms and a patio where an average of 1,000 meals are served daily. Their margaritas have been voted the city's best by Los Angeles magazine and the Los Angeles Times. They have also grown to 95 staff members. They have a seating capacity of 375. Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, and Wojciech Frykowski ate their last meal at El Coyote on the night of August 8, 1969; they were later murdered by three members of the Manson Family. The movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood recreated the scene, using the same booth Tate sat in when she dined there. In 2008, activists called to boycott the Cafe after it became known that Marjorie Christoffersen, a manager at the restaurant and daughter of the owner, had donated $100 in support of Proposition 8, a ballot initiative to block marriage rights for gay people. Christoffersen held a free brunch for activists in which Christoffersen apologized for causing offense, but refused to renounce her support of the ban, which she attributed to her Mormon faith. The boycott was partly because the restaurant had been known as a gay hangout, which "hit too close to home" according to one organizer. The boycott was responsible for slashing revenue by 30%. El Coyote celebrated its 80th anniversary on March 13, 2011, with 75¢ dinner specials. References

Jezero El Mirage

Jezero El Mirage (anglicky El Mirage Lake, také El Mirage Dry Lake) je vyschlé dno jezera v severozápadním údolí Victor Valley v centrální části Mohavské pouště v okrese San Bernardino v Kalifornii. Jezero se nachází asi 14 km na severozápadzápad od města Adelanto a 16 km na sever od státní dálnice 18 (California State Route 18; SR 18) v okrese San Bernardino County ve státě Kalifornie. Jedná se o vyschlé jezero v nadmořské výšce 870 m a přibližné délce 9,7 km. Rekreační oblast El Mirage pro terénní vozidla V minulosti byla oblast přístupná všem návštěvníkům a stala se oblíbeným místem pro řadu aktivit, od provozu vírníků a ultralehkých letadel až po automobilové závody. Úřad pro správu půdy (Bureau of Land Management; BLM) jezero a některé okolní oblasti ohradil plotem a vybírá poplatky za vstup do oblasti, která je dnes známá jako El Mirage Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Recreation Area (rekreační oblast El Mirage pro terénní vozidla). Oblast je také oblíbeným místem pro natáčení automobilových reklam. Povolení pro vstup do rekreační oblasti lze zakoupit na místě, u místních prodejců a online. Roční povolení stojí 90 dolarů, týdenní 30 dolarů a jednodenní 15 dolarů. Na dně vyschlého jezera mohou také stále přistávat soukromá letadla. Již 50 let je dno jezera využíváno jihokalifornskou asociací Southern California Timing Association (SCTA) pro rychlostní závody. Rychlostní závody pořádá klub také na solných pláních Bonneville (Bonneville Speedway) ve státě Utah. Podnebí Ve vyschlém jezerním dně El Mirage panuje pouštní klima s horkými léty a chladnými zimami. Z důvodu vyprahlosti jezera a vysoké nadmořské výšce jsou denní rozdíly teplot značné. Přestože letní dny mohou být velmi horké, noci jsou chladné. V zimních měsících na dno jezera občas napadne sníh, obvykle ale do 24 hodin roztaje.

El Mirage Lake

El Mirage Lake is a dry lake bed in the northwestern Victor Valley of the central Mojave Desert, within San Bernardino County, California. The lake is located about 9 miles (14 km) west-northwest of the town of Adelanto and 10 mi (16 km) north of Highway 18 in San Bernardino County. The dry lake, at an elevation of 2,840 ft (870 m), is approximately 6 mi (9.7 km) long. El Mirage Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation Area (OHV) Formerly open to all visitors, it has been a popular spot for many activities ranging from gyrocopter and ultralight aircraft operations to automobile racing. The Bureau of Land Management has installed a fence to enclose the lake and some of the surrounding areas, and now charges fees for entry to what is now known as the El Mirage Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Recreation Area. It is a popular filming location for automobile commercials. Permits for the Recreation Area can be purchased on-site, at local retailers and online. Annual permits are $90, weekly permits are $30, and daily permits are $15. Private aircraft may still land on the lakebed. For 50 years the lakebed has been used by the Southern California Timing Association for timed speed runs. The club also operates the Bonneville Salt Flats speed runs. Climate El Mirage Lakebed experiences a desert climate, with cool winters and hot summers. Due to the lakebed's aridity and high elevation, the diurnal temperature variation is substantial. Though summer days can be very hot, summer nighttime temperatures are cool. The lakebed receives an occasional dusting of snow in the winter months, however, snowfall usually melts within 24 hours.

Electric Fountain

The Electric Fountain is a water fountain with public art sculptures and evening lighting, surrounded by mosaic pavement, seating, and landscaping. It is located in Beverly Gardens Park on the corner of Santa Monica and Wilshire Boulevards in Beverly Hills, California. The fountain The two-level circular fountain includes a circular raised fountain spray area surrounded by a 30-foot (9.1 m) diameter pool. It was designed by architect Ralph Carlin Flewelling in 1931, in partnership with sculptor Robert Merrell Gage, who created the center sculpture and bas relief. Public art components The Electric Fountain contains several individual public art components. These components include sculpture, bas relief, mosaics, landscaping, and lighting program. Sculpture Robert Merrell Gage placed the 6-foot (1.8 m) granite sculpture of a Tongva/Gabrieleno tribe member, kneeling in prayer, on a 20-foot (6.1 m) stone column. According to Peter James Holliday, the image was "said to be modeled after Gradin Newsom, who was part Cherokee". The sculpture sits in the center of the smaller circular raised fountain. Bas relief The sides of the circular raised stone fountain are carved with 3-foot (0.91 m) high bas relief sculptures by Robert Merrell Gage as a companion piece to the Tongva/Gabrieleno tribe member sculpture. The bas relief images depict scenes of the area's early history and development. Ceramic tile and mosaic pavement The surrounding 30 foot (9.1 m) diameter pool is edged with ceramic tile. Terra cotta mosaic pavement tiles show images from the early history of the area and the founding of the city. Landscaping and lighting program Landscaping and benches surround the pool and have been modified throughout the decades. The most recent addition to the Electric Fountain was the multi-colored nighttime lighting program for the pool, fountain, and sculpture. Installed in 2016, the lighting program made the Electric Fountain highly visible after dark. History The fountain was a gift to the City of Beverly Hills from Sarah Elizabeth (Fraser) Lloyd, mother of silent-screen actor Harold Lloyd in 1931, and the original installation was funded by the Beverly Hills Women's Club. It was built on land donated by the Rodeo Land and Water Company. In 2014-2015, Chinese businessman Wang Jianlin donated US$200,000 for the restoration of the fountain, and in 2016 the fountain, sculptures, and surrounding public space received a major restoration and renovation. It was featured in the 1995 movie Clueless and The Go-Go's 1981 music video for "Our Lips Are Sealed". See also Beverly Hills - 20th Century References
