Interesting Place in SOCAL

Postby Snowman » Wed May 25, 2011 3:51 pm

Just throwin' this out here, but this was just linked to me. Look's like an awesome place to go, but I hear it's pretty nasty there. I'll try to go take a look when I'm on vacation this summer.

Looks awesome, but way to far into California for me.

If you're in the area look for "Slab city", same kindof idea. Crazy shit.

That is where a national Fallout Game should be held!
My sword runs at 450 FPS, try to out run that! 35+ Sword/Knife Kills and counting.

I saw this place in the Movie Into the Wild. What jumped out at me was that colorful mountain.

That is creepy as hell, but so awesome at the same time.

I would LOVE to play there. Creepy as hell though. Holy Crap. That would be an experience, to say the least.

No you wouldn't, I can almost guarantee. It stinks like hell there, I heard (courtesy of the millions of dead fish). Plus, there's the issue of constant exposure to quantities of poison gas.

Aside from that, it would be pretty legit. Just find a desert nearby, get a ton of trucks, and cart all that stuff up here to the PNW.

Realistic reason to wear gas masks (lol)?

I like the whole "open field->CQB->Fallout/Half Life Immersion->CQB->MOUT->Shitting your pants because its creepy->open field" thing they have going. If only there was a place that, like you said, didn't smell like death and, well, death.

Salton City has actually been growing again in the past 2 years , the Cahuilla Indian Nation even built a casino down there , so more and more people are moving back .

Yeah, looks like population in 2000 was around 900, now it's closer to 4000.

Looks awesome but safety would have to be a key factor.
Also I found some pictures.
