Any of you Southern Californians heard of Salton Sea? Sounds promising...

LOL...finders keepers?



Yeah that. But I do think a pipeline from the Sea of Cortez to bring in sea water could be viable and not insanely expensive. But we have to get Mexico to agree, and well, find dollars.

On the good side, it's a fantastic off-road playground with some really trippy terrain. At night, there's an area that you'd swear looks like the moon under off-road LED lights on vehicles. Soft and gray dust. Then there's a place just minutes away that is red and looks like it was the set for The Martian. Weird round rocks, and totally Mars. Then some "sand" dunes farther down that are decomposed ocean reefs from millions of years ago. And more and more.

Another amusing thing is the random thermal vents where they "shouldn't" be. A friend got his well built Jeep totally stuck in a mud pit on TOP of a hill climb. WTF!!!
EXCELLENT! Sounds like a great place to play with our Cybertrucks some day. In February my 2 sons and I rented Quads at Steve's in Salton City, and rode just a little way into that area. It was the first time I've been to that area. When I was a kid we would go to Ocotillo Wells and ride motorcycles.

Steve's is alright. I had to get two LiFePO4 moto batteries there and they were surprisingly not crazy priced, for the location. I wonder if it was locally sourced and organic lithium.
