The Wild Side of the Salton Sea

- There are a million videos and blogs about the weird and wild of the Salton Sea. I haven't covered them all ...however I hope I've given you some sense of the wonder that is here.
In this video I go to Bombay Beach, the most visual collection of destruction that remains. Within the rumble on the beach, art installations mingle with trash...which sometimes became art.
What surprised me most, however, were how many people still live here. How many people drive through and around this little town, and like me, stare from within their vehicle and take pictures. I was a little sheepish but wanted you to see both the weird and the wonderful.
Next I go to Slab City. 4 miles from Niland, CA, Slab City is another tourist, gawking, opportunity. I was not brave enough to spend the night and because it had rained a lot the day before I also did not go to far in.
Finally, I stopped at an abandoned building I had seen along the highway. The gate was usually locked. But on this day ..it was open.
This is the first is a series of videos that will take you all around the lake...south, west, north and then east. Each has a different niche and demographics.
There will also be one video on camping in and near the Salton Sea.

Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy.
My mom is 67 and remembers living near salton sea..she always talks to me about it..the boatrides on her stepdads boat and fishing.etc..it has a special place in moms heart..must show her what it looks like now..thanks 4 sharing..✌she said they went to the salton sea almost everyday...🙏🙌🙏
Lucky her! I bet it was grand. Thanks for sharing that.
We visited Slab City last year and it's 100% cleaner than Downtown LA and Venice Beach.
Excellent video! You captured it so well in just 17 minutes and frankly I was disappointed when it ended. Your very talented and have an amazing soul. Thank you for sharing.
You did it again. Perfect music choice for this weirdly post apocalyptic slab city! Glad you got out safely!
Lol. Made it out alive! It's funny how easily other people influence our opinions. My introduction to Slab City was when Nomadic Fanatic 1st went there. Lol. He had lots of mean stuff happen to him. Got him viewers the sob. It is a unique place...not sure if I would camp there. Never say never tho.
That place is beautiful in its own way but in no way unsafe. Its lawless because there's no reason to enforce any laws. The nicest and respectful people.
Excellent documentation, wonderful narration...love your style!!!
Thank you. And thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Its an interesting area
My grandmother lived in Salton Sea for over 30 years and I only been to Salvation Mountain the first time when I turned 30 6 years ago right before I moved to Texas. I love that place. Its so unique and holds its own beauty and there's nothing to fear there.
Salvation Mountain was in good shape 6 years ago I imagine....been declining since Leonard Knight died I hear. And yes, it's safe to go. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment
I remember the Salton Sea from when it was the place to be and there on that water I learn how to water ski, it's so sad to see what it has become of it😢
Oh boy, I bet it is so sad after seeing what it once was. How great that you had the opportunity to be there...and learn to ski!...when it was in it's heyday. . Thanks for leaving a comment
Enjoyed your professional like video and audio, wish i had been with you.. Thanks for doing this one of the best i've seen of the area, age 80 in Kentucky
Have you ever been there? Traveling is to hard now...but you could still get there to see it! Thank you for your kind comment
On our trip west in 2015 , we visited Las Vegas, Palm Springs, San Diego, LA, Hollywood, Pacific, the beaches and Salton Sea. All places were beautiful but for some reason Salton Sea will always stand out the most in my head, earie but beautiful, I just loved it.
Exactly...earie but beautiful. Glad you got to see it! Thanks for the comment
This is a fantastic video, thank you for making it, I’ll have to watch the rest soon!
Really amazed by the fellow with the garden, that’s incredible. I’m hoping next year when my sister can visit (I’m in San Diego), we’ll be able to go out to the sea.
Oh I do hope you can go! You are so close. Thanks for the comment
it changed so much the water dropped alot when i was kid i fished there it was a great place to fish. The fish had a fight to bring them in the fish is called covina and corker i dont remember the name of the street. the store there my grandpa build the store. We used to go there almost every weekend to fish and stay at the b b hotel there idk if thats still there. i havent been there when i was a teenager i miss that place to go fishing thank you for the video brings back memories i have videos of the sea they are on a VHS lol i hope i can put it on a hard drive
Oh thank you for commenting...how wonderful that you got to see it in it's heyday! Those videos would be awesome to see.
I remember the Corvina fishing. A friend actually commercially fished for them. He was a very successful Tuna fisherman from San Pedro, California.
Great video. I couldn't imagine living there. Looks like hell in paradise.
I missed your comment earlier...I would say thats an accurate description
actually watched it all the way through, really enjoyed it. makes a nice change not to have a self obsessed youngster walking around with the camera focused on their own face while they waffle on about themselves. thank you for posting
Lol. Glad you enjoyed it. I really love this area. Even with all that has happened there, there is beauty. Thanks for the comment
You realize millennials are not 41yo, right?
Yeah what he said
Those lots might be a bit more costly now...thank you for the wonderful tour.
Great video! Thanks for sharing!... ❤️🤠
Cool video, I have been to the Salton Sea several times starting in 1985. I have met Leonard Knight who built Salvation Mountain. He was a kind soul and was so passionate about continuing his creation despite his age. We always took a can of Bush's Baked Beans for him when we stopped by because that was his favorite meal. The last building looks like it was a store due to the loading dock out back. Looking at the graffiti there are some pros in the area. You can see the number 13 which is a gang tag, not good at all! Take care Sue and keep rocking on down the highway!
Thanks for sharing your experience of Leonard Knight...how sweet.
Also " M " is the 13 th letter in the alphabet standing for marijuana . a medicine since 2700 bc with NO deaths other than from police criminalizing it and keeping it from cancer patients , etc .
At first I thought this video was gonna stink but as I kept watching it I really enjoyed it. You did a nice job of photography, commentary and background music. Better than lots of professional things I have seen. Thank you.
Lol. Well im glad you enjoyed it after all. Thanks for the comment.
Check out this local historic documentary I put together on a person of interest th-cam.com/video/7XGkol0lR0o/w-d-xo.html. hope you enjoy it also .
Have so many thots running thru my mine watching this, can't put it into words. But thoroughly enjoyed every minute & seeing it thru your eyes. Everything about the area seems so ironic, eerie for sure, but very intriguing! Can't help but think about the land of misfit toys, only its people that society has thrown away & forgotten about. Thanx for sharing.
That's a great analogy...very much the land of misfit or broken toys. With grumption and spirit. It's a unique place
But who are the real MISFITS? I beg to differ with the majority of society. I'm in recovery 15 yrs now from iv heroin addiction. I lived in the slums of Chicago as a white girl I was out of place in a gang and drug infested neighborhood. I grew up privileged in white suburbia and private school. Was 16 when I met people of color. I just want to say I was treated with more respect in the ghetto than I was ever shown in the burbs. What someone looks like on the outside rarely is what you encounter in the inside. If u believe otherwise life has some surprises for you
@@persuethedream9862 "Grumption" - I like that (and your video), like gumption, but with a GRRrrr. I love a woman who growls!
"Thots running thru my mine" is a pretty cool quote.
This area fascinates me for some reason. Watched a bunch of videos on Niland, the slabs and bombay beach, yours is different though. I loved your commentary, music not so much. Great vid and thanks for the tour.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment
Thank you PerSue for your take on the Salton Sea neighborhoods. And if you should read this the segment about the man who didn't want to be filmed and his garden is what I found most interesting. Gardening of any sort in extreme climates is something that draws my attention. I would very much like to know a bit more about where he got the water and details of what you witnesses. Thanks again, Don
Oh Don, I think of this encounter often and wish I had known more about water filtration so I could have asked questions. I was just stunned and delighted the whole time. Ha. He built a series of pools (3 I think)out of cement block, lined with pond liner stuff. The outside had stonework so it looked like a well. The top pool took in the raw water which he totted from the Colorado River. There was a bubbler in that pool i think and larger rocks with course sand. That water flowed into the 2nd pool, went through a finer filtration and so on until it got to the last pool which I took a drink from. Rocks, Sand, Charcoal. He had a way of controlling the flow and diverting water to the irrigation system...tubing throughout all the garden beds. Thats what I remember. Hope that helps. I think of him often and wonder if he is still there and thriving. Thanks for asking!
@@persuethedream9862 Hello and thank you PerSue. Just what I was looking for and a glimmer of hope for pioneering people who would make the region their home. I plan on visiting soon and will look at maybe experimenting in a similar way.. You opened a window for me and I sincerely appreciate your efforts here.
Don
Hello Again PerSue: When you mention this gentleman lugged water from the Colorado River are you referring to the Salton Sea itself? I've been looking into the sources of water for the area. to restate I'm very interested in how people survive in severe climates especially where water is scare. Thanks for you work here. Don
@@donaldwarriner1640 if you look at a map of slab city you will see where the Colorado River runs through the northern part. Look for Conchella Canal Road and follow it upward...it crosses the river.
@@persuethedream9862 Thanks again. I find I think about the area a good bit. Something attracts me to the place. Your video has been an eye opener.
Awesome. Thanks for doing this one. If I ever go to Slab City I won't be scared. I just saw a glimpse of the cloud. It looks like a space saucer correct ? We have them up here too. They don't move for hours sometimes.
check out this local historic short documentary th-cam.com/video/7XGkol0lR0o/w-d-xo.html
I enjoyed your video in fact more than others. Thank You!
Glad you enjoyed it. Such and interesting area.
Thank you for sharing the video... !!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
I really enjoyed your video, thank you for posting! I used to drive to the construction & thermo plants nearby because of my work and always wondered what people's lives were like in these strange, Mad Max looking areas, but never had the time to drive in. After watching, I still don't, but I feel closure to some degree
Aw, that's nice. And maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to toodle through there someday. So glad you feel closure and left a comment. Appreciated
I love this video! I want to take a trip over there soon.
I hope you do! Its a very unique place. I'm hoping to go back this winter
I guess I was just naïve because I visited slab city back in 2015 and did not feel the slightest bit apprehensive or scared about exploring. The few locals that I saw didn’t mess with me and I didn’t mess with them. I was respectful, took my photos and hit the road. Well I would like to go back someday you’ve got me wondering now if I was just lucky and if it’s something that I shouldn’t be doing alone. Great video.
TH-camrs were relatively nonexistent.. then 2013- 2014 .. 2015 things began to become dark.. "city with no laws' retoric "was a beacon to those who are predators and general assholes
Excellent Video! Thanks for sharing.
Very entertaining video. You were brave to go there by yourself, especially going in that mans dwelling who did not want to be photographed. In that desolate place you could have disappeared without a trace. Thank you for providing a taste of California.
From yours and other videos Slab City makes me think about dystopian futures depicted in science fiction. AND I also thought, the heart of an artist. Sometimes desolate and destroyed, yet a deeper look, filled with life and awe inspiring beauty. People are complicated and danger can be random. The cairns were really neat and I enjoyed hearing about the sincerity of those creating them. Even though they were smelly heh. So many people leave out the other senses when being descriptive. Thanks for that.
It does have a post ww3 feel about it. I did not go to far in...partly because it had rained a lot the night before. So next time. And the art...it reminded me of a living visionary art museum. Quite a unique place.
It looks so different from when I was a child
Time hasn't been kind to this area...still its a beautiful place
Simply A Sweetheart. I’ve never visited. I’ve flown over a zillion times as a pilot. It looks like the town that time forgot
Another great video.
Oh man I'm so sorry you missed it but did you see the volcanic mud holes at the southeast corner of the lake got to go check that out it's awesome
I did not! I wanted to, can't remember why I didn't get there. It sounds awesome tho
Very cool...thanks...
Hello from Australia! Brand new sub today, one minute in and I know I like your work. Stay safe and healthy!! 🤠
Thanks. Welcome. I'm stay the hell away from everybody! You stay safe also and thanks for the comment
@@persuethedream9862 😊
I've heard good and bad about Slab City. Seems most people there are friendly and some keep to themselves. I think a lot of drunken fights happen at that night club when large crowds of visitors are there. Not sure I would go, but I would love to see the Salton Sea. Thanks for sharing! HUGS~Donna
They get alot of gawkers. Just remember it's their home and ask permission before taking pictures. People really appreciated that. Make a donation if you are inspired...lot of "merchants" selling all kinds of stuff. And turn around when you feel uncomfortable. You should see it for yourself...may not be there forever. Same with the Salton Sea. 2 vids from now I'll show some camping spots...from primitive to swanky. :)
I remember camping there in the '70s. Bombay Beach would have 5 or 6 rows of rv's as far as you could see. The fishing was excellent. 25-30 pound Corvina. The hotter it got, the better the bite. I learned how to water ski there, the water was blue and beautiful then. You said 63% Hispanic, what's the other 37%.
Everything was better in the 70s wasn't it? I made my 1st xcountry trip in the 70's and wish I had seen more. It sounds like it was marvelous. If I remember correctly, though largely Hispanic in that area ,the rest of the population is older white folk. Thank you for sharing your memory. As you can see, it has a different kind of beauty now.
Great video!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed. Interesting place. I hope you get there someday.
What a difference 2 yrs makes. Salvation Mtn is in disrepair & it was also closed for painting. All inside area were closed off as well. There was holes. It's definitely not being looked after like before. 🙀
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that!
Pretty dang cool. Thank you
You are welcome...thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Hope you get there someday
Nice work on your stuff. You have a new subscriber.
Nice video. I really liked all the details. I was there early this year
There is more talk of saving this lake recently. I hope they do sometjing finally. Would be a shame to lose it. I'll go back this winter ..at least i hope to. Thanks for watching
@@persuethedream9862 right now would be a good time to buy lots. They are pretty cheap!!
Some people spend their days worrying about where their next meal will come from and some just worry about where their next can of spray paint will come from.
and if they will be carded when they buy it. ha. About 10 years ago I went to Berlin and stayed in East Berlin...the side that was controlled by the Soviets for decades. At first I was shocked at the massive spray paint decor. Every, I mean every, surface of every building , every door, everywhere was spray painted. But when you started to look at the work...it was truly awesome.
@@persuethedream9862 yes I will admit that most of those "graffiti artists" are extremely talented" but a little harmful to the ozone layer.
I love bombay beach. What's the scary music that starts @ the 13:00 minute mark? I like it. Great footage. Cool video.
your awesome ! keep exploring !
The most troubling thing about the Salton Sea is, it doesn't have to be this way. Shortsighted selfish people will let it die, and then cry crocodile tears when it's dead.
and someone made a lot of money while destroying it. That's the maddening part for me
I lived in Niland as a child for a short time. My dad was raised in Niland and we as a family would visit his Mom and Dad (my grandparents) many times.
Such a pity,,, the entire area of salton sea would be comparable to the island of tenerife if the environment had been stable since the 50s!!! It would be filled with tourists,hotels, its own airport!!!
I was there Christmas time 2019 the water was way down it was a hike there are a lot to see lol I took a lot of pictures. Did get a picture of the crane.?
I was too! Spent Christmas and New Years there. I was camped at Corvina. And yes, the water was much lower than last year! The weather is so lovely though. Thanks for commenting...glad you got to see it
How interesting.
Thanks for watching....it's a unique place for sure.
"Whimsical" wouldn't be the first, second, third or even forth word I would pick to describe this place.
Its been 20 years since I was a Riverside County resident who used to make regular runs down Highway 86 to El Centro going through Bombay Beach. Apparently nothing has changed in that time.
sounds like it hasn't if it looks the same to you, huh. That's interesting actually because I haven't gone anywhere in this country that looks the same as it did the first time I went there. Usually it's gotten, in my opinion, worse. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment
Hello,
Doe's anyone know if this lady is her name Sue passed on or why there are no recent video's that I can find or know about ?
Thank you, RJ in Utah....
I'm still kicking! If you go to my channel page there is a list of my videos. Thanks for asking!
That would be WONDERFUL for me. I'm a desert liker🌴☀🌵
☀🌊🌴I like beaches too & would like to see an oasis too if possible☀🌴🌊
Thanks for doing this it was great👍
Glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for letting me know!
Awesome video. Wish I could have gotten my RV fixed but the guy screwed me out of 5000 dollars he quit working on it and hasn't still has not finished I have walked away I'm broke depressed and almost homeless. Keep up the good work
Oh my, I'm so sorry! What will you do?
11:33 "May I film you? No, I don't want you to...." (proceeds to photograph and show him here anyway after he was kind enough to let you in to his place lol)
As I have said before....it was his water filtration, gardens, and solar set up he didnt want filmed. You didn't see any of that huh. A real same though, he had a fabulous setup
I wonder if there are ancient caves from prehistory when this was a big lake that reached the mountains.
You went after it rained. They keep folks off the mountain because it's very soft and squishy and will be damaged when wet.
Yes.very soft...good place to get stuck.ugh.
Just wondering did last years hurricane do anything to recharge the sea ?
Good question. But no. I was just there...visibly less water. The water line is about 3 ft further out this year. And i didnt see as many water birds around the campground area as before. There is something suppose to happen, lot of money allocated, but didnt see any signs of anything yet.
PerSueTheDream Shame I had hoped it might of helped a little after seeing the storm clouds seem to reach that far on the weather maps on the news broadcasts
Supposed to be an unarmed nuclear bomb lost in the salton sea, along with numerous ww2 aircraft and crew that were never recovered
I wouldn't doubt that at all.
At the end of your film , its not a cloud , its a weather balloon from the military base nearby ?
I’m a year late to this video. Thanks for the awesome video! I’m subbing
well, I'm 9 months late responding, ha. sorry I didn't see your comment until now! Glad you enjoyed it and thank you
maybe the next Presidential administration, California and Mexico can get together and build the southern canal and rebuild the Salton Sea.
Sure 100 billion should just about cover the cost.
The "New River" flows from Mexico towards the Salton Sea; the river consists of agricultural runoff, municipal discharge and industrial wastewater. I don't think anything from Mexico will be beneficial.
6:49 my brother and I use to ride our skateboards on that sidewalk in front of the bank just to piss off the guard. Sadly, this whole town is dead now.
It didn't hold up well for sure. My hometown was ruined in the opposite way...too big, too many people. Did you enjoy living there as a kid?
@@persuethedream9862 Well, I'm originally from San Diego. We had friends we would spend our springs and some summers with out in Niland and the surrounding towns/hot springs near the Salton Sea. Loved it... some of the best memories of my life.
@@mr.b3837 where I am living now was that for me. Some of the happiest weeks of my life were spent here. And yes, it breaks your heart to see what happened.
VERY NICE . SORRY TOOK ME SO LONG TO WATCH THIS..
Isn't it dangerous to be there by yourself. By the way I enjoyed the video and the music made it better,good choice Sue
A friend in Tennessee.
From the intro I thought this was going to be about the migrating birds that now rely on the Sea. Many of the wetland areas have been converted to farms. Even though the Salton sea was an accident, it is about the only rest stop available to the birds.
I wonder if you couldn't get a lot at the Salton Sea even cheaper at a tax lien sale. Maybe even one with a mobile home on it.
The LOW area at the Slabs seems to be pretty safe. It stands for Loners On Wheels. This is a club for solo vehicle dwellers.
Birds is the next video.. several wildlife refuges scattered around. And yes, you could probably find cheaper if you did some research. Was I in the LOW area or is that back a ways. I didnt go to far because it had rained and I was skittish
@@persuethedream9862 In your video I believe you said you were not going to take a road marked LOW. My understanding is that is one of the safest areas at the Slabs.
I bet you are right! Lol, I was thinking down into some low place. And I was like hell no lady. Funny.
Great video!
Although, when someone says that they do not want to be filmed, please don't put them in your youtube video!
yeah, amazing lack of respect there. Tone deaf or what?
The forgotten part of California I went to the slabs yesterday what an experience lol
I know what you mean, lol. I bet it was pretty full this time of year. Warm yesterday? Glad you got to see what few have.
@@persuethedream9862 yeah I went and checked out the skate park in the lows the show we got we definitely werent ready for lol😂
@@persuethedream9862 it said it was 80 out but standing in the abandoned pool it felt like 100 degrees out
@@blazed1945 lordy that would feel really really good right now! lol
This Gawd-Awful Dump makes Detroit look like paradise!
8:50 The town of Shelburne Falls is in Massachusetts, not Vermont.
There is a place near Shelburne, Vermont that is called Shelburne Falls, but it isn't a TOWN, it's a waterfall.
Somebody got their facts screwed up.
I'm sure you are right....but I don't find any reference to any of that in this video. Did someone get their video comments screwed up?
@@persuethedream9862 I was scratching my head at this odd comment too🤔😆
Its realy ashame to see the town go to waist. I saw a video that said you can get alot for 3,500 in its day it was a blooming town
I think thats still true...lots are cheap. It could a boom again someday if the govt does its job
Was it a daytime ghost wandering around at 7:46?
lol. Sorry , I just saw your comment! You are very observant....i edited that guy out in the middle of his stroll.
This place is an environmental disaster of many, many different layers. It really just keeps perpetuating. It looks like a very depressing place to me, i really want to go there and visit.
It’s a sociological disaster as well.
Awesome :)
Thanks. Glad you liked it
Wonderful video! I see a lot of videos of people either gawking disrespectfully at the people who live at the Salton Sea/Niland/Slab City and I thought you were very respectful and extremely informative! I really enjoyed this. I am so interested about the Salton Sea, its inhabitants, and the surrounding areas, as it kind of does seem to be the last frontier for true freedom, especially in Slab City. I watch any and every documentary I can about the place and my favorite so far is “Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea”. It’s a great documentary and I recommend anyone who’s interested to check it out. I have been wanting to visit so badly and interact with the locals (if they’ll have me) and just spend time with them and get to know them, just as you did. Others can say what they will about the place but I’ve never heard anything but good things about the people that live there and I’ve heard that they’re generous and kind and always willing to allow you a peek in at their way of life. Can’t wait to see it all for myself one day, especially Salvation Mountain. I know there are pictures of it all over the internet but I want to be able to witness it and enjoy it for myself and see all the work that Leonard put into it. He seemed like such a kind and amazing man. Anyway, like I said, great video and thanks for sharing! :-)
My apologizes for not responding sooner, I'm old and can't always figure out how to use youtube ha. I'm so glad to enjoyed the video and got where I was coming from. And I hope you get there someday to experience it yourself. I hear Salvation Mountain is failing though, however I can't imagine the energetic quality of the space will be altered ....but don't wait to long before you go. I bet you will enjoy it immensely. Thank you for you comments
In the summer of 2015 I walked around the entire shoreline of Salton Sea (the only person to ever do so) and I can tell you there is way more beauty there than most people will ever know..
If I truly slip my cable, I will move to the Salton Sea.
Lol. I'll be back this winter.
Art Brut!
15:56 octopus Frankenstein..thats trippin :)
The whole building was trippy. That octopus is up there pretty high.
Looks rather post-apocalyptic-sans Mad Max!
And turned into art
Perfect place to record apocalyptic Hollywood movies.
Gosh i can hear your friend snoring in the passenger seat.
Lol. Interesting cuz i don't even have a passenger seat in my van ( and i travel solo)
Umm who wrote CINNAMON
Very interesting video. From the appearance of so many Christian references in Slab City, if the residents actually live up to the signs and symbols, it is probably some of the safest real estate on earth. If you were to get killed there, it would seem you would be more likely to be killed by yet another outsider. Perhaps a drifter from Vegas. Lol. With the obvious outward appearance of a religious community, I would actually have been more shocked to find a population of rude & cantankerous people, or possible murderers. I’m from southern Georgia, but have traveled all around in this area, Death Valley, Mojave, Joshua Tree, time & again. I’ve never noticed any sign or info mentioning the Salton Sea or we would have definitely given it a tour out of sheer curiosity. Looks to be an eerie and novel place, even if a bit short on visitors centers, gas stations, and hotels. I kinda like that aspect though. Lol.
dosent it stink?
Not in the winter! Nov-March, when it's cooler there's no odor until you get to the edge of the water...and its not horrible. Summer months however.....
Tweeker art..plain and simple.
Yup!
That sea water must have been diverted somewhere else
Correct
Why is it every film about the Salton Sea concentrates on horrible Bombay Beach or homeless camp Slab City? There is more to it than that.
You are right..there's much more.Keep watching. I made 3 more about the rest of it.too much for one video.
What do you suggest?
As of 4/21 East Jesus is not open
Walk on the wild side
The Slabs. AKA Tweeker villa
Looks like during the 1950's-1970's this area was attempting to replicate Palm Springs... But obviously it needs to be bull dozed. What an apocalyptic mess...
It was definitely a playground. I seem to recall that it was bigger and more popular than Palm Springs at the time. I think it's worth saving but they have to stop dumping crap in it.
@@persuethedream9862 The question seems to be, at what cost to save this?? Is California willing to spend the money? Based on other videos I've seen, the answer is no
@@contrabandjoe7974 and since they have been discussing this for 30yrs and allocated funds to begin 3 years ago....I would also say the answer is no. Men have made millions off of the sea, trashed it and moved on. Now it's becoming a health hazard that will blow over the rich as well as the poor. Even if one ignores the importance of the sea for migratory birds there are thousands of humans living around and near it....and LA and San Diego with millions of people that are affected. Bulldoze...how would you drain it? Where would you get enough fill....without creating another environmental disaster somewhere else? You are right.....it is an apocalyptic mess.
It would look like Palm Springs if the residents wore fish net speedos .

Very interesting ty

Say no to digital zoom
lol. you're right. this is a low budget production however.
I’ve been to slab city many times the first time just drove around lucky and everybody seem to be very friendly waving talk to a lot of people nothing wrong with these people they’re just trying to exist builder bill which built the range is one of the first ones that slab Siri very nice gentleman not another fella at least Jesus a young lad he was very very polite showed me around told me about the place I have Meet Lots of people there and I’ve never ever had a problem you just don’t go in and trust pass or bother other people I know the eighth the rule as you state out a piece of land it’s yours don’t interfere with other peoples and you’ll be fine
totally agree. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. And also keep in mind it's not a zoo...don't gawk too much
It was never meant to be
I was the last child in my family...I probably wasn't meant to be either. But we are here anyway. The Salton Sea has been abused.
Twenty years go by quickly
but in a place like this¯\_(ツ)_/¯ the time thay are a changin
