The fish carcasses on the beach in Desert shores of Salton sea
Ghost alert @salton sea
The Salton Sea is a shallow, saline, endorheicrift lake located directly on the San Andreas Fault, predominantly in California's Imperial and Coachella Valleys.With a salinity exceeding 5.0% w/v (saltier than seawater), many of the species of fish that lived in the sea have been killed by the combination of pollutants, salt levels, and algal blooms.Today this area has been reduced to a deserted spooky town with burnt abandoned settlements and Dead fish carcasses washed up in mass quantities on the beaches. The smell of the lake, combined with the stench of the decaying fish, also contributed to the decline of the tourist industry around the Salton Sea. The eerie existence of the surrounding is sure to give a spine chill. 👻

Staff can improve hospitality instead of just saying no to everything or just act to be supportive while have no real intent of helping customers!

Unfortunately someone got into our cabin/trailer, management called me a liar and said “it didn’t happen”. I’ve never anything taken out of my room ever, but someone took toiletries out of our bathroom. Who does that? Creepy. Also, the place was not clean, I have pictures.
