Today was our day to tour Slab City. Slumming in a desert slum. The by word out there was freedom but there was something of the feel of nothing left to lose. The suburb near by of East Jesus was an open junk art museum and we stopped to walk about. There was a host/narrator and a 12 foot high teeter-totter which S and I rode with some boarding and dismounting assistance. Prior to Slab City there was also Salvation Mountain which also had a narrator/handyman not to mention several groups of Asian girls with an obsession with rather advanced selfies using a drone set to hover at about 6 feet. We had lunch near Salvation Mt. On the way back to last night's camp, S and I took a left into Bombay Beach which kind of made Slab City look prosperous. Wikipedia said an Israeli director had made a film in 2011 about Bombay Beach that won first prize for documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival. I didn't take any pictures there but I should have. We bought some snacks at a market in Niland the nearest metro to Slab.
Its 4:30 and time to feed B. I believe that tonight we will add the recently purchased sausage links to the Prego marinara sauce for the noodle delight.
No sausagey pasta this night; F and E produced a nice supper of chicken, vegetables and rice. Maybe the sausage pasta tonight at Yuma where we are headed for an electrical consult on Monday. We may miss this quiet unassuming camp by the inland sea. Good fire tonight.
