A new CBS report, I guess all the people who have lived there in the past will have a hard time finding a spot this year.

We also have a story on Slab City

and the The Airplane Man of Slab City

I rented the movie ‘Salton Sea’ form NetFlix. It’s about 3 generations living in the Salton Sink area. I found it a fun movie to watch and well worth the time spent doing it. It’s a documentary, not a Hollywood production.

Let me know if any of ya have or do see(n) it.
