February 10, 2010 – More Salton Sea

This morning started out rainy so we went to town, Niland, to pick up some items.  By lunchtime the clouds were lifting so we took another road trip.

Our first stop was Bombay Beach.  This was another resort town that has fallen on hard times.

Can you imagine what this area must have been when the Salton Sea was healthy?  So sad.

Our next stop was Salt Creek Campground – part of the Salton Sea State Park:

In yesterday’s blog, I wrote information on the Salton Sea and the towns surrounding it.  I feel so bad for the people that had hoped to have booming communities.  This area is truly beautiful – too bad no one has championed the cause since Sonny Bono died.

This evening we had another great campfire night – :-))
