Every now and then I visit a place that stays with me enough that I feel the need to explore it again. This was the case of the Salton Sea. I've always wanted to go to this "sea" in the middle of the desert but didn't really have a reason to. It's out in the middle of nowhere, but has a rich history that you wouldn't know about unless you sought it out.

It's beautiful and a bit sad at the same time. Bombay Beach is one of my favorite places since it looks like it stands in time. There are wrecked buildings everywhere that stay put from where they were built, old chairs, computers, water towers...all in their place among the wreckage.
Nearby is a town called Nyland where you can find Salvation Mountain and Slab City. Slab City is a not really a city at all but a small community of drifters living on the land together. I would describe it as a mini burning man that stays there year round. I loved it.
If you are thinking about touring a place that you won't soon forget, visit the Salton Sea. You can see more pictures from my visit HERE.
