The Salton Sea

  I headed out early the next morning to the west shores of the Salton Sea.  In Salton City I discovered Ray and Carol's where I usually stay, was closed and locked up tight.  I know Ray died of prostate cancer several years ago but Carol wanted to keep the little Lodge going.

  Dreams of the Salton Sea and making any kind of recreation area out of it are over 50 years old now.  The small communities along the water's edge are more broken and forgotten than ever . . . but the sky, water and air will always have magical hues, especially in the late afternoon.
