California Dreamin’?

What does a place called Salton Sea sound like to you?  Beach, water, and lots of fun right?  It is actually below sea level and not even inhabitable!  So, we just had to go look at it.  Here is a sign as you drive up on it.

This may help you get a “feel” for it.  But if you want to hear about how terrible it is ecologically, check out the Wikipedia description.

We’ve all heard the saying, “everything but the kitchen sink”, well that is about all that’s left in this desolate area.  I knew you may not believe me, so here is a picture of the sink for you doubters.

All was not lost, on our way to Vegas we skirted by the Mojave Desert and saw the most beautiful moonrise.  Since we had no real schedule we jumped out to see what we could get really quick.  I know it’s not perfect, but I thought it turned out nice.

As I write this we are in Vegas for about a week.  We are heading off on another photo safari adventure.  So be sure to check back soon and hopefully I’ll have some more to share with you.
