Thank you for sharing another cool map Adam . I didn't realize that lake was over 1,600 feet deep till now .

[@BravuraMediaCompany]

Thanks for watching and commenting! Ya the lake is very deep, I was amazed on the map that they got so close to the accurate depth using 1800's tools. Anyways hope all is well, I'm going to stop over at your channel. Take care!

Yep. An unbelievable amount of water. The water could cover every square inch of the state of California in 14 inches of water! Absolutely staggering!

[@gordita_crunch_official8345]

It would be hard to go metal detecting now on Johnson's pass because it is now basically a road that people drive all the way around the lake and it's a really busy road too.

You have no excuse for mispronouncing "Nevada" so many times after the fall out from Trump doing it.

[@Yourmoms-BFF]

It's Nevada not NaVoda

[@slwtgf]

When the state name is used in the “Sierra/Nevada” phrase (describing that region/ geo area) he IS pronouncing it correctly ..at least in Minnesota we say it as he does in this video. When just saying Nevada, we say the middle “a” as in pal or sail!
Great 👍 info , thank you for sharing!
