I have always been somewhat fascinated by the Salton Sea and it's history. I am heading that way(not in the RV) and was thinking about cutting over and checking it out. In trying to find info online...
Did it once and yep, no need to return. I found it to be a very depressing area with all the empty buildings and then there was the smell when you get close to the shore, along with lots of dead fish along the shore when we were there. I could see what the area used to be and found it to be a sad shadow of what it must have been like. Some folks still seem to like it...............
