To correct a couple of things recently posted...
I stated that it is "Billed as one of the last places that freedom still exists and is home every winter to a special class of"snowbirds". I posted this after seeing a number of large signs that said so and whether or not you agree a good many of the locals feel strongly about this representation.
I can assure you there are a number of actual, real honest to God Snowbirds residing out there some with fairly new to very new RV's. IMHO: Not everyone at the Slabs is deserving of your scorn. As I suggested in my first post, Google the area and you will find a number of articles describing Slab City, The Slabs and the Salvation Mountain as a popular Snowbirrd
area for most of the upcoming winter.
I have no idea who actually owns the land and who is responsible for the horrible condition of most of it. Not my Circus, not my Monkees...
I have no desire to return and would never spend any time snowbirding there but it was a very interesting place to visit {that I had been hearing about for years raising the curiosity factor} and am glad we took the time. I shared this experience here so that others can be made aware of what's out there and make their own call about whether or not to visit.
As always... Opinions and YMMV
