Well, let me address some of the questions. There IS a plan to the Slabs.

here is a partial ariel views and as you can see..there is a lay-out.



This is Mike.



Mike is a vet, with cancer. He and his wife Lynne operate the Oasis Cafe. It's on Low Road and if you were going to go..find it, say hello and ask where to park. They'll keep you on the right path. Tell Lynne I said hi..I'll be down in March for a visit.

If you like people...this place has it's share of artists, engineers, teachers, runners, hiders, campers, loosers, winners, writers, journalists. It has some druggies and drunks, vegetarians and some really poor folk. A person can't drive in, stay in their Rv with the doors locked, stay the night and leave in the early am. Not if you want to see what's going on.

Now a caveat....I am the kind that just wants to go places and say hi. I like off-the wall. I also don't 'do' campgrounds. I like colouring outside the lines. If you are super straight, uptight and scared of stuff....stay away. If you can stand to see nude people in the mud bath, people walking around with a beer and joint in their hands at 7am, if you can play a guitar or harp..flute, drum? If body piercings and tats are okay with you, if you can actually walk about and not stare, but can say hi...you'll do.

But, please stop saying how bad something is that you have never tried.

That's kinda how I feel. Thanks Gary for clearing that up. I mean these people chose a place where nobody else wanted to be so they could have some freedom, and yet some people still wont leave them alone. All I meant by cleaning the place up was some of the trash that's blowing around everywhere. It would be easy enough to do with a small tractor and a landscape rake because plastic bottles and all that burn well. And then take all the metal and old burned out cars to the scrapper if nobody wants them. Use the money for some dumpsters. Then make a donation box to collect $ for the Niland trash service to drive the 3 miles and come dump it. Problem solved. As far as humans pooping on the ground, well that's been going on since the beginning of time. If it were from any other animal it would be called fertilizer. The sun and ultraviolet rays have a way of reducing these things to nothing rather quickly. I guess that's better than adding it to the aquifer like we have been doing for the last hundred years. Sounds like to me this organization trying to take over is just after some free land that they can later begin charging a fee for, Maybe. It just seems to me that there should be some place here on this continent where people can go and be left alone. And what better place than way out there in the middle of nowhere, a place that nobody else has ever been interested in ever in the history of our Country until some busy bodies became envious of these peoples freedom. That's my final take on this topic. Im just going to follow along and read from here on out.

Desertboy:

Well said and thank you for your words, I agree whole heartedly.

Keep it free with no bureaucracy involved.

I'm looking forward to spending some of my wintering in the south there doing volunteer work cleaning up once I retire.
