SilverPath Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Is the Salton "City" really this neat looking? Hahaha, Ever been there? Have any of your own pictures of the place? As much as I dislike CA politics wise, they have some neat stuff there that I would love to check out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92Path_68CJ Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Sorry, I guess I cut the rest of my message off. That's Salton Sea, but there's lots of abandoned buildings like that all over the California desert. Salton Sea (as you gathered) just has the distinction of being so large. I've never been, but my friends have many times, they all say it's just as cool as the pics and video like you showed. Man...I am the only one that thinks California isn't that horrible, even if I don't agree.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF600 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 California is a great place. The politics are slowly getting worse though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I saw that place on some TV show. If I ever go back out west it is definitely a place I plan to check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 That is so cool. I'm going there. Road trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I wonder what politics has to do with visiting the attractions of a state? Cali has a lot going for it... The whole SoCal desert, the dunes at the ocean, Lake Tahoe and the Sierras, the rugged north coast, redwoods, Death Valley etc. Come and visit, just bring NIB high ccapacity magazines to barter with...

Slartibartfast Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I went out there with my parents a couple years ago. Weird place. It smelled awful, the sea itself was this weird iridescent brown, you could see the skeletons of boats sticking out of it, and the shore was literally covered with heaps of bleached bones. Lots of bird bones too, in fact I brought some home (still haven't figured out what to do with them.) I guess it's the answer to the question of 'what happens when you build a town around a drainage pond.' Pretty cool though, if you could get past the smell. That presenter's a little overdramatic though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF600 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 And barter with magazines you can. This is one of the best states as far as it has everything. Beach, mountains, desert, valleys. Too bad the loonies are running things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theexbrit Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Bombay Beach is the most famous area, but it's degrading fast. A lot of the stuff in these documentaries has gone now. last time I went there most of the "landmark" structures had gone (salt is VERY corrosive). This whole area is fascinating, we go to Anza Borrego a lot as you can see in our desert trip posts (Karmann, me & others), that's right by Salton Sea. There's also "Salvation Mountain", Joshua Tree, Ocotillo Wells off road area & tons of other cool places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrariowner123 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Thats so COOL So fascinating to see how mother nature cleans up after our mess, Truly amazing, would love to make a road trip down there with a couple buddies and some nice cameras. -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Oh it has nothing to do with visiting, its just a reason why I don't want to live there!, Plus y'all have too many people there Ok, makes sense in context now. Yeah, there are a lot of people, but many of them nest like rats. If you stay away from those areas you can have some breathing room, if not be outright alone. Not like I'm trying to convince anyone to move here. Like you said, it's already crowded, so stay in your own state!! B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Damn!! You know that stunk! I was at Bahia De Los Angeles down in Baja California on the sea of Cortez 1 week after a hurricane rolled through. It had washed entire schools of bait fish up past the high tide mark, so a week later it stunk to high heaven and the flies!! There was no being lord of them what so ever...

GrimGreg Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Drove past there twice but never stopped. Aside from a couple drives E-W, I stuck to the coastal areas while I lived out there. It is amazing how much open space there is in CA, like B said, the population there congests itself into 3 main areas. There are places out there you can walk for 5 days and never see a road or anything else made by man. So different here in the mid-west, no matter where you are here, pick a direction and you'll find a road in a few hours at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagabond Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Back in the late 60s a group of us from the dealership used to go out there for a weekend of fishing but things have really changed since then. Now we just drive by and never stop where else can you play in the desert, play in the snow in the mountains. and go to the beach all in the same day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
