Salton Sea

Just a trip to The Salton Sea Ca. 1/10/2009. This was once a hot spot with the tourists. Big movie stars would have their boats docked and hang out at the waterfront bars. The fishing was also good. Corvina, Talapia, Croaker and Sago. Now the sea has died along with most of the fish due to the salinity of the water.

salt water + sunshine = desalination = fresh water!

And with all that water in the middle of the desert, I can only think of 1 thing to cool down, kitesurfing.

The colorado river created the salton sea in one of its course shifts. The sea would dry up over time and then be refilled again when the river changed its course. This has been going on for thousands of years. It's no longer possible or very unlikely to happen again.

The new river was created by the colorado at that time but it is now the most toxic river in the western hemisphere and it runs straight into the salton sea. When the sea inevitabely dries that land will be toxic.

@coldbluerain I have the same strange desire! It's so very depressed & so beautiful all at the same time. Can the area ever regain the resort status it had in the 50's? The old club restoration is a start, I hope other developers join in.
