I had heard that Bombay Beach is such a close-knit community, it’s one of the last places that you can let your kid run the streets in safety, but I had not realized it was becoming such an artists’ community. I guess they reach out to LA artists more than local ones…..

Doug at my ‘Reflecting Pool’. As it were…..
Compare it with the same scene 10 years ago.
Someone got stuck in Box Canyon. I’m sure this was a Monte Carlo, I used to drive one long ago.

Lois and Bob were comparing this grotto at Salvation Mountain with some shrines they’ve seen in South East Asia. The same feeling!
The ‘back alley’ at Salvation Mountain is a riot of color.

Trailer at Salvation Mountain. Perhaps this was Leonard Knight’s former home.
Next stop was the East Jesus Sculpture Garden. Upcycling at it’s finest.
