"A browser based, non-game that allows the viewer to explore a drought ravaged landscape that contains fossils of beloved characters we have lost to the four year drought in the west. The viewer navigates a digital recreation of the Sierra Nevada Mountains on a specialized plastic model, of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, that serves as a drift boat.
