Skeleton of a City | Abandoned Resort City | Destination Adventure.

- The highly requested Salton Sea, has both disappointed and impressed me. The vision I have had in my head of the abandoned Salton City, is a far stretch from what actually remains today. This was, at one time, an urban explorers paradise, with Motels, houses, businesses and more, all just sitting and rotting. Today, all that really remains is just a skeleton of the city. The roads are all still there, and a small number of houses, but the majority of the buildings are long gone. Never the less, it was still amazing to see the infrastructure left behind of what once was. One location that I did not expect to explore, is Bombay Beach. The town of Bombay Beach, at first glance, looks nothing more than a settlement of run-aways and homeless, but a look behind the scenes will reveal a whole lot more. As you will see in the video, this little town is labeled as an Artist's Paradise, and it is exactly that. Every year, for one weekend, there is an art festival here called the Bombay Beach Biennale. Artists fly in from all over the world, buy up or take over the abandoned buildings and transform them into amazing art exhibits. After the event is over, some of the exhibits are packed up and moved, and some are left behind. Anything left behind becomes free game for other artists to change, add to and modify. The year in between events, this place is a literal art organism, consistently changing and evolving.
Before arriving to the Salton Sea, I did get to do some exploring through another amazing park, the Valley of Fire. This is the first and largest park in Nevada, and if you're in the area it is absolutely worth a visit. Las Vegas draws in hundreds of thousands of tourists each year, and I think very few of them are even aware of this beautiful place, only a short drive away. 500 million years ago, the valley of fire was all under water, and full of life. It is of course not the only place in the world that was once under water, but this prehistoric sea scape has left behind a geological playground like I have never seen before.
The locations in this episode are two completely different types of history, but that is what makes traveling so special. In a few days of traveling, you can get a glimpse into the past, where lives once flourished, and left behind a hint of their existence. Some within a lifetime ago, and some so long ago I can't even comprehend it.

My day is always complete when I watch an episode of Destination Adventure... "just magic"
Your choice of music always makes me smile. It always seems so fitting. Thanks for allowing us to live vicariously through you my friend. I highly recommend the Upper peninsula of Michigan in the summer or fall.
Yeah come to Michigan Dustin ;)
You should post pictures of what, exactly, is broken on your door and what year/model your RV is and see if any of your viewers can track a new door or parts down for you. My ex picks car parts at scrap yards sometimes, and finds stuff for me when I need it. There are plenty of people who do that sort of thing who might be able to help you find the part you need. That route to the Grand Canyon is GORGEOUS. I think I have to add it to my travel list along with Arches, and Mesa Verde National Parks. Happy travels!
I buy vehicles to resell parts and I'm not gunna lie theres a growth in the demand for older vehicles and I've made good money on the "couldn't find list" but I mainly like the interactions and learning the trade and how to talk to peeps. But yea usually theres a guy that knows a guy
I never seen this place explored this much. Didn’t realize there was so much there great video Dustin thanks for sharing with us
If I was younger and in good health, I would do the same thing you are doing. I envy you Sir. God Bless
The Hoover dam has to be experienced from the inside, to be truly appreciated. I was very lucky to be in the right place at the right time and got a personalized tour.
Thanks, Dustin! I am retired now, and love to spend time exploring myself. I start every morning with coffee and one of your videos. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.
It's awesome to see you in Arizona I've lived there my whole life. And trust me there's plenty of sights to see
Excellent mix of the 'out of this world' natural red-rock wonderland and the quirky ruins of the abandoned resort. Can't wait to see what you find in old Mexico.
One word: EPIC! That scenery! Everywhere you pointed your camera, it was absolutely majestical! And your B-roll cinematography shots ... from your drone footage to the shadow of your motor home and boat... 👩🍳💋. I can't wait to see where you take us next!
Loved The Valley of Fire. Beautiful!!
Dustin. That opening was the best!! You had me rolling!😂😂😂😂
I wasn’t super happy with that opening skit, so I’m really stoked to see this comment. Thank you for enjoying.
I don't think anyone has ever pointed at me and said "Don't get Stolen!" I felt wanted, I'm somebody now! LOL, Great Job Dustin!
Absolutely fascinating me being old and decrypted would fit in there perfectly: thanks for all you do my friend.
That was incredible! Your channel makes me happy. ❤️🌈
Excellent video. I love the drive in theater. The red hills is beautiful too. Thanks
Canada is drowning in Windchill and you are living it up in the desert. Thanks again for helping me escape the cold. Your channel is in my top 5, love getting your videos in my feed. - Cheers from NS.
I lived in Palm Desert Ca about forty miles west of the Sea for 13 yrs. A friend and I used to visit the sea regularly.Such a stark contrast between the greenery of N/E Wisconsin where I live now and the low desert of Southern California. Thanks for sharing this adventure....really enjoyed it.
YAY !!!! Your back !!! So good to view you again.
As always you just kill it with your music selection! 👍
Always great to see your journeys💜 Love the music too🎸🎶
Very interesting sir thanks
The whole grand canyon bit made me LOL. Thanks for that! :D
That was a great video! Cool places. Safe journeys friend!
Wow what a great variety of locations in this video! Thanks! I was especially interested to see Salton Sea and Bombay Beach. Many may know the area was used as inspiration for the video game GTA 5 and it's fictional town of Sandy Shores. Great video Dustin!
I love this guy... I'm about a million short... Dustin you always have a friend with me. If in Michigan and you need a place to stay you are welcome.
Good idea on the inflatable boat . That move right there's save weight saves gas ! Gas just went through the roof !
Wow, great video! Good music, good interveiw, great scenery, awsome art!
Thank you
Thanks for sharing with us.
I look forward to and really enjoy your videos. The videography, editing, scenery, adventure, humor, and music choices is top notch!! 👌 I laughed, cuz I’m similar about avoiding people in nature. It’s too peoplely out there! Lol. That abandoned town is kind of a bummer. First, that humans came in and destroyed an ecosystem, but further that it is continually destructed today. I mean, I appreciate art, but to me, that’s mainly trash. Think of all the good it would do if the same amount of energy was in restoration of that community. Anyway, safe travels bro! ✌️
Crazy. Feeling a little creeped out as you explore around here. Part of me amazes that you never appear to have any confrontation in in your travels. (That is a good thing). At the end of this video, I am totally impressed with the explanation of Bombay Beach and its yearly art show... Many thanks for the enlightenment. Quite fascinating.
That's awesome you made it to the Salton Sea and especially Bombay Beach!
Makes my day when I see you've posted a new video. Valley of Fire was beautiful, great job again as usual. Be safe in your travels and until next time as always thank you for bring us along on your adventures from the comfort of my couch after spending the evening shoveling snow. Peace be with you always.
I go to the hoover dam every time I am in Vegas. It's to show my kids, as they age and can grasp it more each time, what a marvel of engineering it was for it's time. I hope you are have heard about on the Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico. Ancient ruins in America that not a lot of people know about and that doesn't get many visitors.
Wow! Just magic! Thank you for taking us along on another adventure!
Nice post! And, yes, the Hoover Dam from that angle is very anti-climatic. It looks just like a bridge! Looking from the bottom, there is a completely different perspective!
Pickled kelp! never thought about, good job, Keep these type of video's comng.
Magical beauty !!! I love it !
I freaking love this! Thank you
Beautiful video Dustin...the colours are amazing. Thanks
Another great video Dustin! Thanks for sharing your adventures! 👍
27 minutes of much needed escapism and distraction, thanks Dustin. Did a road trip with my friend, 21 years ago, Seattle down to San Diego. I can vividly recall the Salton Sea, hours of driving along this alien shoreline south wondering how big this body of water was? I was shocked when I found out that it was created partly by accident, whilst rerouting/damning the Colorado River. So hey, build some towns, marinas, hotels and turn it into a huge recreational lake! Now it's a chemical sink, sad story.
You always pick the best music!
Wow thats some strange town 👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍
Crazy beautiful landscapes. Hopefully one day I too get to travel to the states. I haven’t even been back to my home province BC for three years due to all the fun we’ve been having out in Ontario
Totally enjoy your adventures.... thank you for taking us along! Love your story and music you choose for your videography... awesome! I must say... you're a handsome individual too!
Awesome!!!!
Another great Adventure!!
As always, a fantastic video. Very professionally done, with respect and enthusiasm. Continually looking forward to the next video after voraciously consuming the current and past videos.
Loved the comments on "Magical" and the pile of rocks that could only be from meteorites - AAHHH! Great job on the video and WOW the colors!
Cool Cool Cool!!
Wow, I would love to go there.
So interesting. Love your videos.
That place rocks looks like you could spend a couple of days there and not really see it all great video and happy trails
Dustin thanks again man totally a bucket list trip🤘
Sweet video as always.. keep on keeping on, your B.C videos hooked me and I really can't wait until you get to Mexico... at this point in my life I'm 42 years old and just had my first Heart attack. I'm pretty sure the only way I'm ever going to get another adventure is if I break out and start hitch hiking which would be hard with a cooler full of insulin and a big medium bag weighing me down... so ill keep watching your videos....
My merchandise showed up and I am impressed! High quality! Love it!
Great camera work/editing too btw!
Get two birds stoned lol
That’s so great to hear, thank you.
OK this was different 😳 Watching this episode made me so darn thirsty 😫 I wonder why? 🤔
Now those rock formations were really wild and the mountains were really cool looking from the windows in the RV where I think I would have stayed with the A.C and a cold beer Yup 🍺 😀
Another great shoe Dustin ! Yahoo
Tourists are great. Nothing wrong with popular places.
Great job on this video. Beautiful Sunset.
Please keep up the fantastic work. Take care out there!
you're videos are amazing dustin keep them coming.
Salton Sea was a awesome place to explore. Glad you got to check it out and show it off.
can't get enough of your videos :D
I had mentioned the valley of fire but didn’t think you would make it that way.. I love it there, the wife and I go every time we are in Vegas.
Those Ford Maverick taillights in the drive-in are mint 👌lol thanks for sharing another adventure!
I really liked this one
Thank you. Haven't been to this part.you are great!!
Love your light heartedness tooo funny!
Just bought me a sweet Destination Adventure T-Shirt! Keep up the primo vids dude.
Awesome, enjoy and thank you for the support.
You Rock Dustin!! Take care and be well my friend.
*THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING TO TURN TRASH INTO ART.*
You should meet up with foresty forrest down there! Congrats on 100,000
U might b interested to know, that bat shit mine was a part of a movie, I think from around the 50's or 60's. It was a murder mystery. Good show, good laughs again, Justin. Thumbs up. 👍
Great video 😎👍👍
Great video-music and of course you wonderful sense of humor. SAFE Travels!!!
I've been to the the Grand Canyon about 4 times in my life. All the south side. It's amazing though how seeing it in person is so much better then seeing it on video. Just amazing the size and expanse of it. You use to be able to drive over the Hoover Dam until they built that bridge. When I was about 4, that would have been around 1967 I believe went to the Salton Sea when it was a resort. Really vague memory of desert and power boats.
Hey Dustin, I was nearby (okay about 35 miles away or so) on a vacation to the Palm Springs area for a couple weeks at the end of January. (We saw a Marron 5 concert while there.) We went hiking around the Joshua Tree National Park, with some incredible rock formations, and a look out where you can see the whole Coachella Valley => all the way to the Salton Sea. If you get time check out the Park. It's so high up even in the spring (April?) it is cool when the valley is far too hot to enjoy. I'm thinking you'll start to head north about that time. It was freezing in Vancouver today, and threatening snow. A far cry from the 26 C I enjoyed just a week ago. Keep on truckin...
Beautiful! Loved it! We were just there one week ago. 😍
great stuff thanks
Guys a little crazy for thinking that anyone would want to extend the Gulf of California from Mexico basically 200 miles north just to reach a cesspool but I appreciate his enthusiasm as a local and your ability to sit through it. Genuinely great content 😆
You're wearing my friends hat!!! Long live Henry!!!!
Matt, tell your friend I want to support his brand. I love the designs so much. If he or she is interested in some exposure, please reach out. reellyfe@outlook.com
Another good vid, thanks. :-)
Nice to hear a fellow Brit.
Love the vids brotha!
Congratulations on 100K subscribers.
Every time I watch Dustin climbing/jumping about on rocks, I'm sat here at home shouting "jeez......don't fall!" at the TV! 😂
Love your humor, Dustin! If you are ever in New Glarus Wi say hi! Great edit and content love the value your content offers
Its was weird seeing you in places I have actually been to for the 1st time. I also found Hoover dam underwhelming but the Grand Canyon was pretty epic. And the Skywalk was great, the Native Americans were cool but I was a bit disappointed in their plastic costumes.
Awesome camera work and editing! Always look forward to your episodes.
Thank you
That’s called a projection tv…came stock with the mirror. Lol good see the content agai, glad your good.
Check out the east rim of the Grand Canyon. Free camping just prior to the entrance. Drones, 4x4,free camping and it was just us. You would love it.
Nice.
I'm conflicted.
I enjoy the adventures immensely, and then I'm jealous I'm not there.
And you haven’t met Wonderhussy yet? You are right in her neighborhood !!!!
Was there at Salten Sea 1986. Seagulls still sat on the shore, but it was dying.
Spent a couple of weeks at Overton at Poverty Flats and drove through the Valley of Fire several times!!!
Beautiful hope your RV is holding up to the heat
Bagged that peak like a regular Foresty Forest. ;)
Love hearing from the British guy, would love to know his story some more! Sounds like he could be from Manchester area.
Wish I could have made my way to that area, when I lived in California. I risked it all, leaving Cali, in a 1966 VW DELUXE , bus. Drove across the Badlands, with 9.0 gallons (full tank) and 10.0 gallon container, strapped to my roof rack. I drafted off into the night, amongst a convoy, hammer down at 70 mph. I ran out of FULE, In the middle of the desert. The last known home of the Manson family…
FULED up with my reserve, and joined back in the convoy. They seemed happy to see me back on the road…
I, was... that chartreuse microbus (actually I was black and red ) but do you know where I'm going with this…CONVOY.
