The mountain may be cool or funky but you may want to look closely at how it's constructed. It looks like it could cave in some day.
This group rolled in while we were there. The top of the bus was loaded with rusted scrap metal not even tied down.
The east Jesus side was in better shape and had tried to create stuff with all the junk. A young gal and an old guy were very friendly and showed us around.
A rock band broke down out on the highway so they abandoned their bus and gave it to the slabbers so they half buried it.
We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Sure there is drug use
which is not much different than middle America suburbia.

I would wager that most long term residents of Niland and neighboring communities are not happy with their neighborhoods being the test bed for "live and let live."

After visiting the Mountain, we drove through the Slabs of which some of it looked really junky and some looked much more organized. We didn't see any people around and I wouldn't bother them anyway, we just wanted to see the place.
I'm a strong proponent of 'live and let live', if you are not bothering me, I'm not bothering you so we are good!

Western..... Of course I would not want my neighborhood to look like the Slabs. That's why we chose to live in a gated, guarded, manicured HOA. I live where and how I want, so do the people at the Slabs. That's what I meant by 'Live and Let Live', I make my choices, they a make there's as I'm sure you do too. Thats all.
In my HOA, you will not find any motorhomes, unpainted unkept houses or junk laying everywhere. You will get the boot so that the rest of us can 'Live and Let Live' within our HOA rules. ๐
