A group of people cheered Randy Brown on from the North Shore Yacht and Beach Club as he began his 116 mile walk around the Salton Sea at about 6:00 a.m. this Tuesday morning. Brown said he trained with the triple-digit temperatures in mind, but hadn't prepared for rain. There is a possibility of thundershowers today. Sunshine or rain, Brown is determined to weather the walk – in order to bring awareness to the critically low and ever falling water levels of the Salton Sea. He plans to walk approximately twenty miles a day and end up back at the Yacht Club by Sunday, June 14. Randy is accompanied by a documentary film crew who are planning to produce a movie about his unique Salton Sea adventure.
