there it is right there
it's like what in the literal is going on and then
it's gone
just topped off here propane just at the end of the road here
and leaving slab city gonna head on 111 north up towards the Salton Sea today
yeah Angela's still hanging out with me about that guys really quick I've
learned from the past I know YouTube can be a cruel place to
other people and there may be parts of my life
or people involved in my life that I may not necessarily share much information
with you all about until the time comes or until that person wants to talk so
that's really all I have to say and you just have to accept it and as for the
stuff in the sky last night that was creepy
we're not really sure I mean we are on an old military base so there is a
chance that they were doing something I just there was no sound out there and
the lights were in a perfect line turning on and off oh it was creepy it
had a lot of people baffled last night what was going on
anyway maybe some of you military people know that's some kind of training
exercise or the plane turns off his lights for a certain amount just or
maybe he's just messing with all the tweakers out the slab so yeah I don't
know for sure my name is weird anyway goodbye slab city we survived a week
here in 2018 on to new adventures in California creepy
welcome to Bombay Beach a little abandoned place out here near the Salton
Sea I'm just carefully watching my step for
any nails or glass I forget why this place is so abandoned but the Salton Sea
is one of the lowest elevation places in the country at minus 222 feet in
elevation creepy though anyway let's go try to find some water today
if you wanted to get some property down here I'll bet it'd be pretty cheap yeah
Metro I don't know that right there is my biggest fear it just random nails
sticking up out of the wood and everywhere around here just gonna have
to be careful right just take a quick shower here I think this house is
falling apart no you don't got to pay a lot you just got to pay attention let's
at least turn the lights on here oh there we go getting some nice Sun coming
through yeah I wish I could describe the smell out here well back home Puget
Sound in Washington you know we got like that seaweed smell mud Bay type stuff
where it just smells but this is it's definitely salty obviously very very
salty smell out here a little rancid little unpleasant but but not bad
weird abandoned votes way up here and there's the water out there part of me
does kind of want to go in the water but I got some cuts on my leg and I don't
think that high volume of salt it's gonna do it much good here this concrete
barrier here I mean I'm sure it serves some reasonable purpose before but right
now I'm not sure I'm not sure what purpose it serves at all oh I just
walked through a bunch of dead fish carcasses lovely nice job Eric well I
have a theory because you can see the wood what is this just I don't know but
I think this is an old dock that was out here because obviously the Salton Sea
has been getting smaller and smaller over the years so this may have been
under water that's probably what had happened yeah
this was all under water and I'm guessing this has something to do with
what the salt does to the wood over time
but yeah we're probably standing in a spot that was completely under the salt
and sea at one time all right I came out here even though I kind of didn't want
to you guys could smell this right now it is horrid what a strange smell okay
here's a good idea and a good look for you guys we're right at the water's edge
here look at that tint color that's what I'm smelling if I can if I can if I can
describe to you what what we're looking at here very strange
no swimming in the salt and sea I think but as it turns out there's actually a
state park up here at California State Park at the north end of the Salton Sea
so well I don't know if you guys realize but if you count 14 days can't be in the
desert @rt are followed by seven days with a couple days break but then seven
days a camping at slab city in the desert I've spent a good amount of time
parked in the sand and dealing with the wind and sand everywhere and I think
think just kind of feeling like it's time to get a piece of pavement at a
campground of sorts with hookups and stuff so 86 degrees here today would
love to run the air conditioner for the afternoon
so yeah angel' and I are gonna go scope out this campground up here and see we
can play there we go Salton Sea State Recreation Area
look at this welcome with the palm trees yes
oh that's glorious Thank You California I appreciate it well welcome to Salton
Sea out here in the desert not much to it but you got you that pizza
stupid desert Mirage so yeah another look at the Salton Sea here at the state
park did some research when I was here over three years ago no drones allowed
they have actually reversed that the California State Parks
has reversed the no drones allowed in state parks although it does say that
each State Park can have special rules so if they were to put up a sign that
said no drones you would have to honor that but statewide drones are allowed
back in and there are rumors that national parks are working on the same
thing I mean because the FAA z' rules for flying a drone I mean as long as you
follow those rules you really can't be an idiot at a state park and because
they track everything you do the people that do abuse it they're gonna lose
their privilege of flying so it's cool that um they brought it back I'll fly
the drone later but Salton Sea there are a lot of fish carcasses here a lot of
fish don't survive kinda all over penta gross
so yeah the Salton Sea I did some research just to correct myself it's 336
feet below sea level out here and the Salton Sea has changed a lot over the
centuries it used to be fed by the Colorado River but you know how nature
likes to change things up Colorado River decided to take a couple different
routes over the last two thousand years and thus the level of the Salton Sea has
gone down tremendously plus the deposits of well the collection of salt that's
why it's 50 percent more salty out here than in the normal ocean the only signs
I saw were no lifeguard on duty and no diving so I don't know maybe that's the
thing here maybe maybe people actually go in there
and swim in the summer anyway Salton Sea it's been a while huh Jax that's real
dress what do you think it's real and a lot of
times you got to chew on grass taystee sure
do you understand personal space you don't okay cuz I was trying to I'm
starting to work on the computer and
okay
what are you you peeing you're getting more comfortable do you mind if I do
some work would that be okay with you did you just shake your head it did you
shook his head didn't he
stupid desert Mirage this is gonna be one of my dumbest scenes ever I had no
shame that's play for you dumb
