This last weekend my friend Valeri and I went down to the Salton Sea for the third edition of the yearly trip. It's been one of my favorite places in California to go visit because it's in a way a photographer's paradise. There's tons of junk, abandoned houses, interesting and crazy people, and migratory birds. One of my favorite places to visit [I'll post the rest of the trip photos later] is Salvation Mountain. I love to take people because in a way you can't really describe the place to people- it's just something to be experienced. Granted, I really love eccentric old people so that has something to do with it, but the fact that this guy named Leonard decided to set up camp and paint a hillside for 20 years is just so awesome to me. By hillside, I mean anything in the area including his cars, motorcycle, mailbox, etc. Last time I went I was so bummed out he wasn't there, but this year he was so we got the full out tour and the whole bit. If you ever want a really awesome inspiring day tour, go check this place out before it gets too hot out there. Slab City is also right near there which is a crazy place in its own right.
