A Trip to the Salton Sea





I read last year a bit about the Salton Sea in California. A strange story of a large lake created by a dike failure in 1905. ... with a 356 sq mile lake as a result.. It became a tourist destination and development area at one point. [ 1940's?] The lake itself is slowly dying now and much of the development is abandoned[?] leaving strange apocalyptic sites to explore. We headed down Sunday morning to look around and came across this former public beach/playground and a former beach side resort. Strange eerie place. I felt like i was in a scene from planet of the apes.
