Started a day trip to the Salton Sea with a stop on the western sea side. The Salton Sea is an ecological disaster. It is the largest body of water in California, sits well below sea level and is a former recreation destination from the 50s and 60s. It was once a place of promise, fun, and life, but now it is decrepit, dysfunctional, and destroyed. The small town of Salton Sea Beach was at one time a beautiful sea side location and although it seems like there are pockets of civilization still there today the majority of the waterfront is completely abandoned.

 

The first stop in Salton Sea Beach had me smack in the middle of a bunch of abandoned trailers.
