You should put your apron on and nothing else and go over and visit that lady with her apron and let it all hang out😅😅 well she had pretty good ones for being my age at least they're not flopping down to her feet..... I honestly would fit in perfectly well with any of these people..... until they try to rob me or something and then it would not be good because if there's no law then you will have to take care of it yourself..... what have you came back in your freaking trailer was gone because it could be... that is one place that you could get a really good picture of the Stars with no light around to bother you..... I wonder if people have ever disappeared their and that's all their cars?? Man I love that space c o m e t.... it's a whole city full of unwanted people like me it's like the city of toys that nobody wanted like me.... how does that guy really be charging people for land he doesn't own?

Do you live there, to support your claim of how wonderful this is? Many of those there need immediate mental health care and interventions. They are struggling and suffering and you can see this by watching this video.
Few people tell positive stories about about Slab City, believing negative stories get more views. Thank you for showing the real eclectic community and people
Yeah, unfortunately most good stories don’t make the news or channels, as it’s true that fewer people watch stories of “everyone was prey cool, nothing bad happened.” But the skewed coverage can skew some peoples opinion of things. Many think that commercial air travel is more dangerous than driving, which is not true, due to the million videos on plane crashes, and almost none on car crashes.
Goddamn you are literally watching her channel and her sharing. Why do people who consume consume consume consume constantly demand that creators do MORE work to keep you fed!? Not ironically, your always the ones who do not create anything and share it with the world on a normal basis so you have no clue the energy snd tike things take and now people like you are constant drains. You dont give af about their tike or what they want its all about you because some idiot told consumers aka customers that you fvkers are “always right”. Stfu and enjoy what you get
Lack of law prescence doesnt mean "lawless" by any means. I have been to Slab City for a few 3 day stays. All cracked-out hardcore druggies , theives, or predators are sternly "invited to leave" by a majority consent of the regular population there. Sure they smoke, drink, and get a little long winded into the wee hours of the weekend mornings, but ALL the permanent residents would literally give you the shirts off their backs. Truly an active community which supports itself. We need more of them.
I loved this video, it’s really gotten big and pretty in a way, but mainly it serves a purpose for those who need it. Many Vietnam vets went there after feeling they were treated badly and shown no respect…
Dr.Spencer was a friend of ours, myself and Bob and Susanne Cable, we had some wonderful times hanging with him, having dinner at our camp or up in the towers watching the war games across the canal and listening to great stories. Will miss him, glad to see the compound looks fairly intact.
If we were all the same life would be really freaking boring.This seems to be a place of freedom where many different people find their passion and purpose in life.
Leonard Knight is considered the founder of slab city. He can be seen in the movie Into The Wild. Later in life he went into a nursing home but before he passed away he was able to visit the little city he loved.
It was great hearing his story from some of the long time ‘Slabbers’ as they call themselves. Thank you for sharing and thank you for watching. We really appreciate it.
One day I was getting off of work in Charlotte NC and saw a family walking on a busy road by my job with luggage and appeared to be homeless. I didn’t think much of it because it’s a lot of homeless people around the area but one thing stood out was how clean they were. Fast forward weeks later I turn the news on and see that the mom, and two kids murdered and they were looking for the male who was with the mom and kids. They found him all the way in slab city sleeping in a tent. Be careful. You can look up the story his name is Benjamin Joseph Taylor they found him back in March 2024
I'd go there. What's under slab city? The hunters become the hunted predators become the prey. Directed energy weapons. Humans don't have that right to take a life only a first generation reaper like CAIN and DENZEL WASHINGTON THE EQUALIZER CAN. Why does everyone freak out when you say CAIN? You don't like daddy? It's real easy just obey ten simple rules then Cain doesn't have to be sent in. Michael's highest form Agau the ANGRIEST god God created with Excalibur and Gabriel's highest form Sobek the ANNIHILATOR to prevent these things from happening. CYBERTRONIAN ATLANTEAN ENOCHIAN GUARDIANS CHECKING IN WE'RE HERE I'M ROBOCOP JACKAL. OPTIMUS PRIME TO PRIME OPTIMUS OPTIMUS PRIMED EXPECT US. YOUR WEAPONS ARE COMPLETELY POWERLESS AGAINST CYBERTRON. THE MACHINE. This is God's house God's rules not mans. In under a minute trillions are on their knees. Enochian tablet THE CODE in under a minute trillions are on their knees. Easily. Grow up. Non negotiable. MICHAEL EXCALIBUR DROPS. They have a grow lab. Get Hunter Biden please. Quite the Kali Yuga huh kids in DIAPER DASH MAINFRAME? Ready for Huggies pullups yet diaper dash you like prison planet then with your rebellion? Smaller prison for you disobedient ones? So many hands fall off when Denzel shows up. They can't do anything without hands. They want a sacrifice Cybertron sign them up to be sacrificed. See what ABADDON just did? We don't need a warrant you do. FATES WITH SCISSORS. Oh and love ya. BLM, again? They tried to come into my dojo they ran. How come? Chicago tried to start a drug ring in my DOJO in the middle of the night they left. How come? Running out of places to go. Oh? South Korea oh no oh no not south Korea. No Lucy DNA and Cain's seed no Gaia no Gaia's resources no Abel's land no Poseidon's waters no incarnation no reincarnation. That easy. They're all crying now how come? BLOOD CLOT SPELLS dry them out. We were going to reward you but nevermind. Vin Diesel Riddick IMHOTEP THE MUMMY RETURNS. IN. Hidden device. You know Ra the sun he can read your mind he can cheat you blind. Ten simple rules. His head fell off. Diaper dash are you new here? We're from before computers. Before AI. They'll be unable to sin after this. Bind them. THE BALANCE. OBAMA fleeced them. You stuck now. There you go Raphael.
Wow, I'm near Charlotte. I don't watch the news often because even the local stations reported too many political happenings for my taste. My daughter and I met Al Conklin once. We weren't impressed, however, Eric Thomas is a great human. Anyway, I missed this story because I'm slowly watching from time to time. I'll go back and see what footage I can find. Thanks.
I’m a 70’s baby who’s father was a traveling man. I been here se time back in my old days . I’m so happy I ran across your channel. Very playin the content. As well I’m glad you see the special things some think is off the wall. Taco look yum. ✨✌️💜👍
Slab city isn't so bad. I know people that live out there. If you can handle the heat, one place is just as dangerous as another. Its a little Mad Max, but it is cool to visit.
To each his own is a great sentiment! As long as no person or creature is being harmed by a psycho, I would think that being out in the “wild” somewhere, living in one’s skivvies, is a truly a delightful way to live for some? I do appreciate the man who rescues the dogs that people have probably “dumped”, that kind of thing breaks my heart and he is a good soul! Now I will express my own thoughts….that (slab City) is the opposite of an HOA , which represents prison life to me; would I want to call that place home, no I would not?! If I did not have all the rescue animals that I do, I would probably enjoy adventuring around the country in a converted school bus that would house some pets? ❤🫂 You two are adorable and I thank you for how kind you are to one another and everyone that you meet!❤
So Dot is a National Treasure! I love the back stories she gives all of her vignettes although the first one with the deer got a little dark. And I suspect the dress she was wearing is only for company.❤
Excited to hear your (both) take on Slab City, Salton Sea or other names the area may go by. This a unique area of California hard to believe but there it is.
I absolutely love the two of you so much!!! I've been a long time Subscriber but a first time to add a comment! Thank you so much for this incredible gift of a video! It has always been a dream of mine to visit Slab City ...but being in not so great health with mobility issues now it is difficult...I've been a professional Artist since I first started painting in the late 70s..So I have always been attracted to this fascinating community! Again thank you so so much for bringing us along on your adventure!!! Many blessings and lots of love...Rus from Bucks County Pennsylvania 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🖌🎨🤓...PS> If you ever want to visit Bucks County Pa we have a large driveway with electric and water hookup that is here for you!!!!
Thanks so much Rus for your great comment! Your support means a lot to us and we are glad that we were able to join us in Slab City!! It is an amazing place!
You guys show what makes America great. The locations you show us makes us smile. The station wagon,tang and sandwiches and counting license plates,yup good times. Well the snake in the refrigerator we'll pass on that one. Great visit.
It's great to see Slab City from nomad perspective. I've only seen it in a dateline episode and had a fearful view on this place! Investigating the area in advance is smart and respectful of the residents. Thank you for exploring and sharing this notable location!
Amazing content that shows some people are just simply different that doesn’t make them bad people Wonderful take away….. what’s normal in your house …may not be normal in somebody else’s house that just makes us different. NOT…. Necessarily Crazy …: Keep up the good work… Loved the stories from Dot abt the art pieces🤣🤣🤣🤗🤗
You two made me laugh while you were eating. You 2 are so friendly and that goes such a long way with everyone & everything. Tysm for sharing a different perspective of Slab City than we "typically" see online. I appreciate you both ❤
Note lots of those people do use social media to make money which is cool. Thank you for sharing your adventures and being so kind to everyone u met it's nice to see a RUclipsr that's respectful of others and appreciative of how another creative lives.
I discovered you wonderful people a few months ago watching casino videos! Instantly Loved your energy & Spirits! Tanya-Your solo travel videos R so Brave!! U inspire us.
Hi Tanya and Dave, I've seen that Slab City channel and I enjoyed it! You know that's what life should be like! Everyone is living the lives that they want! Happiness and Contentment is what it's all about! Live and Let Live! You Do You! YESSS! TO THE BEST COUPLE IN THE WORLD! 🌎
So glad you visited Slab city. Watched a film last year about this. You guys did such a great job of your stay there. Negative words always seem to outdo positive ones. Really enjoyed this video.
love this kind of place❤ but always be aware I let my guard down once and man it was difficult But anyway Glad you enjoyed The rest of society doesn't know these places exist They are amazing
Thank you! I wasn't able to see the comet where I live in Pennsylvania because it was cloudy, so that was thrilling. I visited Slab City once when I was living/traveling in my little class B RV, and I loved it! I didn't stay overnight, though. I must have been possessed on that trip because I just kept moving and moving constantly! Great video.
I have seen many slab city RUclips videos. This was fun, entertaining and really knowledgeable throughout the entire video. I highly recommend for new viewers.
❤❤❤❤ Loved watching this Thank You 🤩 You’re channel found me , Subscribed 😊Your kindness in accepting people for who they are aka art lady , warms my heart ❤️and is refreshing as slab city is always shown as negativity l save travels
I’ve watched every doc I could find on Slab City and never once have I seen the gift shop!!! Awesome vid. Thanks for taking us along for the ride & park 🚐
👍 love the openness but never let your guard down. Just like Las Vegas trust but keep eyes open. Education does not equal safety but add +street smarts equals possible more safety. Always be aware surroundings. Always have some protection
I have always wanted to travel. I can only afford to eat once, sometimes twice a day so traveling is out of the picture for me. Thank you for sharing your travels.😊😊
We really enjoyed learning about Slab City. Had never heard of it before. It’s a very interesting place, and the people that live there appeared to be very friendly and inviting. They take pride in the art they have created within their living space. The picture that you had of the comet was amazing. We think we saw it around our area, but there were so many planes up in the air as well that it made it a little difficult to decipher when looking at the sky. Your picture without a doubt clearly showed the comet- We loved it. Thanks for sharing!
You two seem like good peeps, I would totally have loved exploring this rad place with you guys- seeing the cool stuff and meeting new and interesting folks. Awesome. Y’all have a special way of making new friends feel comfy hanging and being themselves around you and it’s wonderful to see. 🎉😊
I love that you take time to play video games TonyaI’ve always been a kid at heart and I’m 62 yrs old !so that’s my favorite past time too! Love all the places you go amazing journeys god bless you Tonya &Dave and your 2 cats!❤
I have always been interested in this place. A whole lot more to it than I thought. Really fascinating. Now I am inspired to pay a visit. I think now I am going to pick up and go visit there shortly now. You two are simply awsome. You reveal so much more than how an awning works. That really provided an insightful glimpse into the community there. To me the real adventure of being on the road is the people you meet along the way. You guys are great. I so vicariously really enjoy your cooking too.
Thanks, this was really interesting! Ever since I saw a short documentary (or interview) of Leonard Knight a few years back, I've strongly suspected that I am related to him. My mother's maiden name was Knight, and he bore an extremely striking resemblance to my uncle, Grandad, and at least one great uncle I remember and have seen younger pictures of. Unfortunately, by the time I saw the interview, they were all gone except my mom, who then had dementia (and I had no way to show it to her). There's a lot more to Slab City than I had imagined. Thanks for the tour!
Last time I was there the road was so worn. Glad I was able to take the kids to experience before the mountain got damaged. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe always. God bless.
I love courageous beings like yourselves❣️I'm the same way, I want to see life for myself, sometimes people will say negative things to Block what is really a blessing.. but I haven't finished the vid yet but really that STILL stands in life..
The person being interviewed that was describing the history of the abandoned artillery range known as slab city was very uninformed about the history of the slabs. The slabs had buildings where Patton stored 10,000 army tanks. In 1959 and 1960 the building were torn down, which left the concrete slabs. People have been camping on the slabs for many years. The people in charge of the property were connected to a teachers organization who found no one wiling to purchase the property.
I have zero issue with ppl living there,..whatever...better than being homeless and stealing from me. But no kid should be born and raised there...kids are our future...and we need all the help we can get the way the world has become.
Its real clean even as people may say look at the trash but its not trash its alot of art. The area to me look amazing. Ty for sharing. I never even knew this was existed.
Leonard had a cameo in the movie "Into the Wild". Very interesting man. So nice of you to visit and show what you've seen there. I hope to visit Salvation Mountain and Slab City someday.
I used to live near Palm Springs and Salvation Mtn., Slab City and Bombay Beach were favorites of mine to spend an afternoon. Just be respectful of the residents and you will be OK.

New here. Looks great so far. I'm too old to travel anymore. So I just watch good stuff on YT. I love your energy 💗 Thanks❤
Love the respect you showed these folks. Different strokes for different folks make this world interesting. Really creative folks.
We really enjoyed our time there too! Thanks for watching!
Love that you didn't let people scare you away from this wonderful place. Thank you for sharing with us.
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful place?
They find people with their heads cut off out there.
@@jamessignorelli852that's the Ones they find. Several go missing and because theyre "misfits" no one misses them. Getting burned out is a common practice if you upset someone(which could be easy given the drug use. All it would take is for someone to be in a bad mood due to withdrawals)
Do you live there, to support your claim of how wonderful this is? Many of those there need immediate mental health care and interventions. They are struggling and suffering and you can see this by watching this video.
Few people tell positive stories about about Slab City, believing negative stories get more views. Thank you for showing the real eclectic community and people
wait til you go there. and the zombies come out.
Its a sweltering hell hole
Yeah, unfortunately most good stories don’t make the news or channels, as it’s true that fewer people watch stories of “everyone was prey cool, nothing bad happened.”

Dot needs her own RUclips channel! Her stories and art are awesome. Thank you for bringing these wonderful artsy, free-living folks into my life.
Goddamn you are literally watching her channel and her sharing. Why do people who consume consume consume consume constantly demand that creators do MORE work to keep you fed!?

There is a RUclips channel is called House of Dots
She does
Dot has a channel. House of Dots
Ooooh, i want to send some dog supplies to the first person interviewed. Ive fostered and I love that he does this! ❤
Lack of law prescence doesnt mean "lawless" by any means. I have been to Slab City for a few 3 day stays. All cracked-out hardcore druggies , theives, or predators are sternly "invited to leave" by a majority consent of the regular population there. Sure they smoke, drink, and get a little long winded into the wee hours of the weekend mornings, but ALL the permanent residents would literally give you the shirts off their backs. Truly an active community which supports itself. We need more of them.

I was thinking the same thing! I love their energy, the way they relate to each other...sweet.🌹🥰👍🏽
My sister in law lives there.theres alot of friendly hippies there
I loved this video, it’s really gotten big and pretty in a way, but mainly it serves a purpose for those who need it. Many Vietnam vets went there after feeling they were treated badly and shown no respect…
That brought back memories of when my husband returned from 11:04 , so sad ...I was so ashamed of those fellow Americans.

Was he in the movie or an actor portraying his character? Was the portrayal accurate and do we learn more about him from the movie?

We had such a great time and it was worth the warning! 😘
The lady with the doll house, gotta love her crazy, so cool.
What a wonderful couple, so upbeat and positive. I would love to be able to see this amazing place. Steph from Australia 🇦🇺
I’m so glad your showing the authentic people of slab
Thanks Tony, we talked to many people living at Slab, but quite a few didn’t want to be on video.
This place is a huge surprise, yet peaceful and calm to reside in harmony. Blessings🤗😇🙏🏽😍
Thanks, it is a really surprising place for sure!

That was so cool, you guys are so lovely, and I agree its so important to go meet folks. Thank you
I’ve watched a lot of videos of slab city but yours is the most interesting and most fun.
I went there about 5 years ago and found everyone to be super nice and welcoming. Respect gets respect.
Amazing content that shows some people are just simply different that doesn’t make them bad people
Wonderful take away….. what’s normal in your house …may not be normal in somebody else’s house that just makes us different. NOT…. Necessarily Crazy …: Keep up the good work… Loved the stories from Dot abt the art pieces🤣🤣🤣🤗🤗

You two are awesome - I love your enthusiasm! This is actually my second Slab City tour but yours is my favorite!
Slab city can be scary. From i what hear. My unit is safe. I have two pitbulls anxious to greet strangers.
Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Thanks for the Super Thanks! 🙏
Cool place. It’s one of those places where you would love to visit, but I couldn’t live there. Happy Camping and Safe Travels!! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻😺😺
I need trees and green. It’s essential! Others love the open spaces and sky. Some just can’t leave the water. Do what you love!
Thanks for showing us this community. Never heard of it.
We were so intrigued by it as well! Glad you enjoyed the episode.
Interesting place and you two were so lucky to see the comet too! Thanks for sharing this adventure. Take care, stay safe, healthy and happy!
Note lots of those people do use social media to make money which is cool. Thank you for sharing your adventures and being so kind to everyone u met it's nice to see a RUclipsr that's respectful of others and appreciative of how another creative lives.
I discovered you wonderful people a few months ago watching casino videos! Instantly Loved your energy & Spirits! Tanya-Your solo travel videos R so Brave!! U inspire us.
So happy you are living your dreams Guys...I retired at 62 and now 65...Have fun...couldn't do what you do...
I spent a night at Slab City last spring. Make sure you also visit Bombay Beach and the metal sculptures at Anza Borrego State Park.

Thanks for sharing! We really appreciate your support!!
So glad you visited Slab city. Watched a film last year about this. You guys did such a great job of your stay there. Negative words always seem to outdo positive ones. Really enjoyed this video.
This is the most amazing place I’ve seen in a long time. Child of alternative living.
Thank you both for sharing ❤This was truly amazing just beautiful 😊
love this kind of place❤ but always be aware I let my guard down once and man it was difficult But anyway Glad you enjoyed The rest of society doesn't know these places exist They are amazing
Wow! One of the most incredible vlogs I have ever seen! Fascinating! Thank you!
Thank you! I wasn't able to see the comet where I live in Pennsylvania because it was cloudy, so that was thrilling. I visited Slab City once when I was living/traveling in my little class B RV, and I loved it! I didn't stay overnight, though. I must have been possessed on that trip because I just kept moving and moving constantly! Great video.
We're so glad you got to see the comet through the video! And, we’re happy you enjoyed the visit to Slab City. Thanks for watching!!
The slabs are what remains from the military base that was there and started with snowbirds in the 70's camping there
The Love between you two is contagious. Thanks for the awesome video!
WOW, I had no idea. Thanks for taking us along.
We are so glad you enjoyed the episode! Thanks!
I was more interested in the spot you started from, natural mineral springs sounds amazing.
I have seen many slab city RUclips videos. This was fun, entertaining and really knowledgeable throughout the entire video. I highly recommend for new viewers.
I love your channel, you guys are awesome! thanks so much!

I can’t wait to visit. I’ve wanted to for years.
Don't get raped by migrants !
Was just watching youtube, having my autoplay on, when your video came up! Loved the video and am definitely a new subscriber!

Thank you so much for your kind words, we appreciate you!
Yes, always go with what you feel
I watched this episode 3 times! There was so much interesting information and people I just kept going back. Great trip y’all!❤
This is amazing ☺️ thanks for the education and history.🥰🤗
👍 love the openness but never let your guard down. Just like Las Vegas trust but keep eyes open. Education does not equal safety but add +street smarts equals possible more safety. Always be aware surroundings. Always have some protection
I know you two had lots of fun looking at all the things. All the cool mindset doing there thing. Thank you for taking us on the cool trip. 🦋
I have always wanted to travel. I can only afford to eat once, sometimes twice a day so traveling is out of the picture for me. Thank you for sharing your travels.😊😊
Slab City is an amazing place. Thanks for giving us the tour.❤
We really enjoyed learning about Slab City. Had never heard of it before. It’s a very interesting place, and the people that live there appeared to be very friendly and inviting. They take pride in the art they have created within their living space. The picture that you had of the comet was amazing. We think we saw it around our area, but there were so many planes up in the air as well that it made it a little difficult to decipher when looking at the sky. Your picture without a doubt clearly showed the comet- We loved it. Thanks for sharing!
You two seem like good peeps, I would totally have loved exploring this rad place with you guys- seeing the cool stuff and meeting new and interesting folks. Awesome. Y’all have a special way of making new friends feel comfy hanging and being themselves around you and it’s wonderful to see. 🎉😊
Love traveling through you and Dave I get to see places I probably never see and I enjoy your casino videos so thank you and be safe
I love that you take time to play video games TonyaI’ve always been a kid at heart and I’m 62 yrs old !so that’s my favorite past time too! Love all the places you go amazing journeys god bless you Tonya &Dave and your 2 cats!❤
I have always been interested in this place. A whole lot more to it than I thought. Really fascinating. Now I am inspired to pay a visit. I think now I am going to pick up and go visit there shortly now. You two are simply awsome. You reveal so much more than how an awning works. That really provided an insightful glimpse into the community there. To me the real adventure of being on the road is the people you meet along the way. You guys are great. I so vicariously really enjoy your cooking too.
I can't believe I missed you guys. Please come back and visit soon. I would love to meet you and give you a tour of my camp.
Thanks, this was really interesting! Ever since I saw a short documentary (or interview) of Leonard Knight a few years back, I've strongly suspected that I am related to him. My mother's maiden name was Knight, and he bore an extremely striking resemblance to my uncle, Grandad, and at least one great uncle I remember and have seen younger pictures of. Unfortunately, by the time I saw the interview, they were all gone except my mom, who then had dementia (and I had no way to show it to her). There's a lot more to Slab City than I had imagined. Thanks for the tour!
Last time I was there the road was so worn. Glad I was able to take the kids to experience before the mountain got damaged.
Thanks for sharing. Stay safe always. God bless.
Thanks for sharing, the road was in very good condition when we visited!
This area reminds me of the movie the hills have eyes. Lol thank you for sharing.
We enjoyed watching this video learning about Slab City. Their stories and the history was so interesting!
😊✌️❤️
Love y'all so much!! Thank you for bringing us along for the ride!!
I love courageous beings like yourselves❣️I'm the same way, I want to see life for myself, sometimes people will say negative things to Block what is really a blessing.. but I haven't finished the vid yet but really that STILL stands in life..
Thank you for sharing. Awesome experience!!
I have cousins that live similarly in the desert in Arizona!!!
Just found your channel. You guys are so adorable together. Love the enthusiasm, sense of wonder and adventure that you take your viewer on.
That's an interesting place. To hot for me, but some don't mind the heat.
Very Great. You have such a open mind which is very refreshing to see.
Super cool couple. Thanks for sharing Tanya. I enjoy your videos. 🎉
The person being interviewed that was describing the history of the abandoned artillery range known as slab city was very uninformed about the history of the slabs. The slabs had buildings where Patton stored 10,000 army tanks. In 1959 and 1960 the building were torn down, which left the concrete slabs. People have been camping on the slabs for many years. The people in charge of the property were connected to a teachers organization who found no one wiling to purchase the property.
Thanks for the historical insight! We appreciate the additional information!!
I have zero issue with ppl living there,..whatever...better than being homeless and stealing from me. But no kid should be born and raised there...kids are our future...and we need all the help we can get the way the world has become.
Its real clean even as people may say look at the trash but its not trash its alot of art. The area to me look amazing. Ty for sharing. I never even knew this was existed.
Love the “Amazing Art” Lady and her story telling!!
Leonard had a cameo in the movie "Into the Wild". Very interesting man. So nice of you to visit and show what you've seen there. I hope to visit Salvation Mountain and Slab City someday.
Thanks so much for sharing, we will have to re-watch the movie! We are glad that we visited Slab City and Salvation Mountain.
What a cool place! Such creativity. Plus loved seeing that comet!☄☄☄🌠
What a awsome couple and a very kool place. My first time watching love it❤ safe travels
Thanks so much Ron, we are glad that you enjoyed the video!
I used to live near Palm Springs and Salvation Mtn., Slab City and Bombay Beach were favorites of mine to spend an afternoon. Just be respectful of the residents and you will be OK.
I can’t believe you went Slab City
