Chapter 7: The Bypassed East

                                       

Chapter 7 discuss about the Bypassed East and how it is relatively cold, receives substantial precipitation, and is generally mountainous. Industries such as fishing and mineral production are a part of the Bypassed East, but fishing remains important to the region and concerns about future prospects are perplexed.

Climate is one of the parts in the book that stood out to me. P. 133, Bridswall mentions that the Bypassed East is no place for people who want a dry, warm climate. I immediately related that statement to Las Vegas because climate is a subtropical desert climate. It is not an area where fog is created and the average rainfall for the Las Vegas Valley is about 3.5 inches.
