Notes from the Road: Salton Sea Revisited

Returning to the desert southwest, I revisit my trip to the Slab City and the Salton Sea, answering the questions I began to ask 20 years ago.

Salton Sea Revisited Earlier in 2021, I had the chance to do something that modern travel writers rarely get to do: revisit a place and then consider what changed. In these updated notes from 2002, I explore what happened to the Salton Sea over the next twenty years. Includes interviews with local residents, new photography and an update on the area's continued ecological decline. This is a sister piece to my updated notes on Bombay Beach. Death and Salvation on the Salton Sea In twenty years of exploration along the fabled California sea, I encounter ecological devastation, lawless Slab City, zany prophets, burrow-dwellers, and at last, a bold hope for salvation.
