This lake bed was full of muddy water earlier this month, so don't rush out looking for it expecting to find it in any condition like this. Fortunately there are dry lake beds all over Southern California, so the identity and location of any particular one is fairly irrelevant.
Update January 2016; this is the "nearby location" described on pages 95-96 of my new guidebook. I couldn't make my book twice as long, but I squeezed in at least mentions for as many as I could, so another many dozen, perhaps 100+, cool sites are waiting to reward those who follow the additional suggestions!
