This is another very cool place we discovered this afternoon: we literally lit water on fire! This is a place called 烈焰泉 (Lièyàn Quán) - literally "Flame Spring" - in Baicheng county (拜城) in Xinjiang. It's natural gas that seeps up through fissures and mixes with spring water, so...

Real estate agent Morgan Goldberg lost her home in the Pacific Palisades fires She says she’s tired of the lies being told by Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass She shows “I’m back here at our reservoir, still empty, almost a year and a half after the fire” Karen Bass says this reservoir hasn’t been used for wildfires “in a million years” and now it’s only for drinking water Well, that’s a lie for 2 reasons Bass says the reservoir hasn’t been used in millions of years to fight fires, that’s false. It’s not that old 2nd, the reservoir can absolutely be used for fighting fires “All municipal systems have two kinds of water: potable and non-potable - Potable water is, in addition to drinking water, used in all of our systems; irrigation, fire hydrants, you name it. It simply means that the water's been treated - So non-potable water is sewage water, runoff water, everything that has not been treated or gone through our system So Just by mere fact that this exists in a LADWP man-made reservoir makes it potable, and it also funnels water to our fire hydrants. So yes, this is drinking water and it's fire hydrant water. We use it for everything. Except we don't because it's empty.” She’s referred to The Santa Ynez Reservoir, the 117 million gallon covered reservoir in the Pacific Palisades Highlands The reservoir stores treated drinking water. Its cover prevents contamination, which is why it isn’t used like open reservoirs for direct helicopter dipping. However, in an emergency this could have easily been used to fight fires So Karen Bass is lying again

Best evening of our Xinjiang RV roadtrip so far: I think a good claim could be made we are as close as you can possibly get to the Garden of Eden on this Earth. We drove the RV for 7 hours to arrive in an amazingly charming little town called Wenquan (温泉), which literally means "hot spring," right on China's border with Kazakhstan. It's called this because (the smartest among you will have guessed it 😋) this place has natural hot springs, which is the central feature of the town: as you can see on the videos 👇there's a stunning hot spring lake packed with migratory birds where people can dip their feet in the water. And, this is where you'll get the Garden of Eden reference, this place is where apples originally come from! All the apple trees worldwide descend from a tree species native to this area - the Malus Sieversii. So, natural hot springs, wild birds, and the original apple tree - I don't know, rings a bell to me... Another fascinating fact about this place: it's mostly inhabited not by Han Chinese, nor Uyghurs, nor even Kazakhs but by Mongols! If you walk around town you'll see all the street signs are written in the Mongol script. In fact we're in a wider county called the Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture (博尔塔拉蒙古自治州). Why is that? It's because in the 1760s, Qing dynasty emperor Qianlong needed loyal troops to protect the border right here so he sent a group of around 2,000 Chahar Mongol soldiers and their families all the way from near Beijing to settle here permanently. 260 years later, and their descendants are still here, and many of them actually still guarding the border! Quite literally multi-centennial commitment to duty. And, if that wasn't enough, we also had our best meal of the trip by far in this place, see next tweet 👇
