I visited it the first time as a teenager in 1986 part-way through a driving tour from LA to Mexicali and Vegas and Tahoe and so on.

I had a Sony Walkman and one of the 'trip tapes' I'd had packed for my family driving-tour vacation, was Eddy Jobson, Theme of Secrets. So his visceral strings and landscape arrangements were my personal soundtrack all the way to those crazy angel sculptures and beyond, to Death Valley and Vegas and all that jazz, until we got back to San Francisco, where I'd got his tape.

The eternal nature of that spot really seemed feasible to me. Even if the water dried up completely, it'd still be somewhere, some time in the future, some people would meet .. and perhaps wonder just what it was all about, some tens of thousands of years ago.
