An ancient salt water lake in the middle of desert. Every few 100 years it is refilled as the Colorado river changes course then slowly evaporates and shrinks. Pretty desolate. Salton City on the westRead more

Bit of a tourist stop of the road from Yuma to Las Vegas. The bridge was built in 1930 and originally spanned the actual River Thames in London, England. By 1962 is was not up to expected trafficRead more
