Nightshade

Thinking about going there for a few days to do some shooting and check it out. I have seen pictures and read articles on it and it has always interested me.

So, has anybody actually been there?

i took a cultural geogrpahy course and we discussed it a bit. The instructor said the smell is overhwelming, but an interesting place to visit. From what she said its like abandoned.

Yeah from what I have seen it is pretty much trailers passing through and vacationers. I did notice it seems they are selling water front lots though :thinking:

Here are some shots a guy on one of my photo forums took

I used to live about 30 miles or so from what the locals called the Salton Sewer. Water front lots, hope ya like fish bones because there is no beach just dead fish and millions of bones.

Its a really cool area to take photos of vacant homes, burned out cars, not a place you would want to live, its about 118 in the summer and smells like rotten eggs.

The feds just need to plug the leak, because the Salton Sewer was cause by something man made.

The biggest mistake ever...a huge man-made lake in the desert of SoCal. It was supposed to be a resort/vacation destination, but went south. Now it's deserted, lots of run down buildings and such. My roommate has been out there...people offroad there. I wouldn't mind driving out there just to check it out a little bit.

the problem is with all the irrigation run off.. it dumps there = lots of deposits. the water is like toxic.
