Now you're talking! This is one of the smartest suggestions I've seen all week! It's a very intelligent way to use Mother Nature, physics and geometry to vastly improve your chances of finding debris quickly. Mother Nature (wind) combines with physics (buoyancy) to reduce large two-dimensional areas (lakes) into one-dimensional shorelines. (I use an analogous system to greatly accelerate the rate at which I find meteorites.) Time to pull out the atlas... In California: check the shorelines of Mono Lake. In Nevada -- Walker Lake and Lake Mead. Lake Powell in Utah/Arizona is also a good candidate as is Conchas Lake in east central New Mexico.
