  • I believe you may find this video of great interest. Look up "Making Dry Ice 1935". It shows this plant in operation! I found it by accident and remembered this video.

  • @RainJetSprinklers Thanks. I'm going to look up that vid now!

  • The whole Salton Sea area is strangely weird. I love it :)

  • Me too. It's such a surreal and interesting place.

  • what would u date this building? the car? the stove? fireplace? hmmm interesting!

  • I'm guessing it was built sometime in the 1950's.

  • What is the GPS location. I lived in Niland for several years and never saw this site.

  • looks like an atomic fucking bomb went off there....i was at the autopsy of the dead guy that was found at those hot springs there

  • still there?

  • lisp much?

  • neblinaalba: Thanks for the history. It looks like it was later converted into a spa, though. There's definite evidence of past flooding here - like you said.

  • It's not a mineral spring spa ....  it was a dry ice manufacturing pant. The building with the fireplace in it was the owners house. The property had to be abandoned when the sea rolled in and submerged it. It's only been in the last decade or so that you could get near the buildings again without sinking into salt water and mud.
