Slab organization
Bad moon on the rise for slabbers. People that took over Salvation Mountain trying to organize Slab City community, form a charitable organizations and take slabs off state's hands. Not sure any good...
Forum Discussion
So many negative comments from people that have never been.
Slabs..so named because of the concrete slabs that were the floors of Quonset huts at a short lived Marine base.
Thousands? Oh at least that. Scattered all over the place. Some in apparent loose groups..they will even have a kitchen, of sorts, to just parked in the desert.
There is a definite un-kempt look about the place. People are pigs...you have seen that around the campgrounds you all have been in. And dump stations. The Slabs is that and more.
Lots of homeless..and people with some pretty $$ RV's too. The attractions are...free, and no one bothers anyone. And then there are the petty thieves that are everywhere, anyway. And, just to add some interesting humans to the mix, there are artists, and 'papered' people. Engineers, designers, musicians...you name it..it's there, or has been there.
Some of the folks at the East of Jesus compound have a pretty interesting relationship with the Seal base, just a bit further into the desert.
If you go..and just drive around staring and pointing your critical finger, you will find everything you seek. If you go...get out of your rig and just talk to some folks? You might get your eyes opened.
