woofrrrgruff...."me too!"

So, we get up and head to the zoo, where I will wait in the truck, and they will visit the critters. Suddenly we stop and I jump out to scout out the area for safety. There was something wrong. The ground smelled odd, was covered with white, wet, hard stuff.

Then I checked out a puddle, ready for a nice drink. It was solid water!! Something had gone terribly wrong with California while we were gone. I ran to the far end to see if it looked the same from the far side.

On the far side, things were either getting better or worse. There were normal plants and some ground overcoming the white plague.
Luckily we were back in the truck quickly, so I didn't have to watch out for both of them for too long. Who knows what might have happened if they had started wandering around in this stuff.
