Slab City. Mojave Oasis.

I wasn't sure which category to put this under. Sorry to all you landscape purists. This

is a rather unusual little compound on the east side of the Salton Sea called Slab City.

I think it is a bunch of squatters who pitched their trailers on concrete slabs left over

from some other previous use. One enterprising elderly gentleman has built a rather

large complex out of straw bales and plaster. He has covered them with colorful paint

and religious text. He offers free tours of his world.
