Salton Sea
My next stop was Bombay Beach, a community with quite a large percentage of year-round residents where neatly kept properties line up next to what seemingly qualifies for a run-down trailer park at best - yet everybody seems to get along. Due to time constraints but nevertheless with much regret, I did not really talk to any residents, nor did I take pictures of the actual town. Food and gas can be found here, which is a good thing in the desert, and everybody seems quite used to the lost tourist cars which cruise the alphabetically named roads in search of "the lost city". Part of the town was heavily flooded and abandoned in the 70s, but its almost charming decay has been extensively documented and photos of its every stage can be found via a simple Google search on the web. I too had to make the rounds several times before I finally found what I was looking for.
