More California Trivia

I decided I'm not going to attempt to re-create the last posting that I lost. It was about our trip to Portland for the Patzer memorial service and all the old friends we briefly greeted. I see they are posting the service online and offer a printed version (although I didn't say much about the service).

So...here's some more California trivia while I take a break from working hard today. You can answer if you want to, just for fun.

Former questions and answers are:
Los Angeles lies farther east than Reno!!
California's largest lake was created in 1905 when the Colorado River flooded.
Tarzana got its name from the Tarzan stories; the author founded the town.
Anaheim was settled by immigrants from Rhineland...the city's German name means home by the river.

New Questions:
Where is the lowest elevation in the Western Hemisphere?
California's highest and lowest points are how far apart?
How many different kinds of fruits and vegetables are grown by California farmers?
In 1826 98% of the territory's population were Native Americans...what percent of CA's current population is Native American?
What is known as "the crookedest street in the world"?

Ok, who can give the right answer first??
