Catching Up On Local Sights

So much to see, so many places to visit, and all of them just a few minutes away from our home. In less than two weeks we'll be leaving the Salton Sea area and traveling through a LOT of states and won't be back here until mid-October. Enjoy these local scenes.

Just a small sampling of birds that winter on the Salton Sea.

Tilapia on the beach. They die for several reasons, mostly lack of oxygen.

Snake encounter near the beach. NOT a rattlesnake.

Dave, watching a mud pot roil and boil. That's a new geothermal energy plant in the background.

Bubbling mud in a mud pot.

Pat confirmed that the mud is HOT.

Salvation Mountain at Slab City. It's a manufactured mountain - mostly hay, clay, and paint.

The Mountain is desigated as an American Folk Art Project.

Can't deny that it is Folk Art.

One of the many painted vehicles parked around the Mountain.
