Day Trip to the Salton Sea: Bombay Beach
Our final stop was Bombay Beach. Bombay Beach was once a "resort" town (allegedly), but when the sea (it is really a lake, technically) began to become overly salty and polluted in the 1970s, Bombay Beach's fortunes fell.
Artists have made artworks in and around the abandoned buildings--but they are not all abandoned; according to the last census, 295 people lived there. There is an art exhibition/festival every year, and some of these pictures are of artworks from previous shows.
It is rather creepy there, I must admit...we didn't get out of our car (except to take a selfie in front of the giant airplane artwork).
This is the only restaurant in the area--and it is closed due to COVID, of course.
As we were slowly driving along, all of a sudden, in front of us, appeared a pack of wild dogs! Tiny, tiny dogs...
