Thank you for taking such wonderful pictures of Bomba Beach. Having lung problems, I don't think I would ever visit, but it sure was great to see it, as though walking through it myself.

[@KATIEKATEish]

I live in a state of gratitude

[@lucilleeidse9407]

So interesting to “walk” through this with you- I will show my kids, they are creative and artistic so I’m sure they will love it!

[@beckyestrada7339]

My mom lived in Bombay Beach for over 20 years, and her father and his wife, for 30 some years before her. Now my sister lives in the same home in her retirement. I was hoping you might show a glimpse of it somewhere in the footage, butI didn't see it. It's a weird place. It takes a certain kind of person to enjoy and appreciate it. It's way too hot for me, but my sister loves the heat, so she does well there. Thanks for sharing!

[@jujugypsyjourney3826]

Wow,that was cool !! Both of these vids were. Thanks for sharing 👍💕✌️

[@joesrvhome]

That was cool...I've seen lots of other videos on Bombay Beach...yours just tops the list...adding to my list for sure.

[@thewoodenspoon9679]

Carolyn you go to some of the most interesting places I’ve ever seen! Thank you for these videos!

[@kaleidiatrikos]

In Connecticut some years ago, an artist bought a foreclosed house and wrote on all walls. The house became a book - highly reviewed as a performance art. When the exhibit was over, the artist sold the house. Have no idea what happened to the novel written on it, but there may be photos online.

[@lynnventura1322]

Unbelievable! Who knew?? You are awesome Carolyn!! Thank you!

[@nancyhelgeson9934]

I just came back from visiting Salvation Mountain and Slab City. I loved it too. I drove from home in San Diego, and I didn't have the energy to drive to Bombay Beach. I was bummed, but that was 5 hr of driving in one day. Thanks for the tour. I hope you know who that was, and what he was saying by "I live in a ....." One of my all time favorite skits from SLN.

[@lisamillard1272]

I live in a van down by the river... This could be a Stephen King movie set crazy but so unique..

Been to Salton Sea a few times, but never Bombay Beach. So interesting! Next time I'm in the area, I'll be sure to check it out!

Oh wow, I totally missed that! I'll have to watch and look for it. There was just so much to see.

[@garyanthony4854]

Too cool. Thank you for your.

[@pianogalRN]

Amazed me, seeing one piece of truth not far from the graffiti-ridden crumbling abandoned buildings. So what happened to all the people who lived there, what drove them away or what destroyed them? Very curious --- and sad. Thank you for the tour...and for making us think.

[@vernonbrechin4207]

Thanks for sharing that place. I see it as a cool art semi-ghost town.

[@urbannomadslife]

Yeah I'm going to check it out on my Southern California trip.

Yes would love to see it. Stay safe and enjoy your life

[@leithawalling9519]

It is interesting. It reflects and expresses people’s feelings. There’s a part of me that gets a gut feeling of sadness of a lost neighbor… people displaced…once homes

[@paisleydreamzz]

i live in a - room. trying to think of it as my studio apartment with a shared bath 🙃 i LOVED the poetry house.

[@colocappy244]

Wow! What a magical vibe! Thank you so much for sharing it with us💕

[@pursleydl2009]

ive seen it...... just now. It did speak to me, but it's enough for me. Seeing broken and dead dreams, amongst artistic squalor is too depressing for me personally, but thank you for the interesting tour.

[@Texas_Teresa]

I just love this kind of stuff anything old that time has forgotten, My brother and I used to go to ghost towns and forgotten old houses with things still left everywhere and walk through them.

This is prob my first comment on your channel since 6 years, I've got to admit I enjoyed every bit of this trip. I would of loved seeing more of those sensory lab forms, what an experience.

[@terrisexton6727]

YES Thank You. Just retired., got the shuttle bus to convert 4 days ago. Sons here from NC to visit and I've got him striping seats out in little over and he then the handicap lift came out. So clean slate to work in over time. I'm here in VT from Nc ( close to Jordan Lake 😃 where your meet up was )with my 88 this yr old mother with dementia so I'm getting ready for the Next Chapter. So I will be add this to my bucket list for sure. Thanks and have a peaceful constructive evening. ✌

Hello, Carolyn. That was a good video. Bombay Beach has a post-apocalyptic look to it. Have a wonderful weekend.

What happened to Bombay Beach? I’ve never heard of it before- intriguing and sad

[@missamelie17]

I(we)live in a prison planet. It's an artistic place! A creative outlet speaking on deeper themes of humanity. I like it. Thanks for sharing.

[@cindyholt3808]

I'm with you on that constant base- I find it annoying so I can't wait to get away from it, lol

[@gabrielerissmeyer]

This might be my favorite video yet. I live in a magical kingdom as I live in my head and that is where it all happens. You've inspired me to visit there.

[@livesdifferentlylived]

Thank you so much for touring this for us. Magical place. I paused the video several times to stop and admire certain spots. I’ve heard of Slab City but not Bombay Beach.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Glad you enjoyed it!

You can get the history in the first video I did: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmWbh36Pl8iaq68

@@CarolynsRVLife Thank you...I will check it out now.

[@karenauto]

Does Sadie ever come back full of goat-heads in her feet or cactus thorns in her nose? It seems I can’t walk anywhere without goat-heads finding me!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Not full of. But she does get both from time to time and she comes to mama to take them out. :-)

[@urbannomadslife]

That whole place reminds me of an episode in the Twilight zone I feel like you're actually in it lol!

[@nancyadamson6755]

I don't know if I would go there, that's partly why I watch your videos. So thank you for sharing your experiences I love your videos and will never stop watching them or you and Sadie.

[@caraa.4944]

It is a fascinating place. Great couple of videos. I am unable to travel (age issues) but like seeing off-the-beaten-path places. Like some KZbinrs who do urban exploration of abandoned houses, amusement parks,etc. Thanks for the tour!

[@judyzeigler3980]

That is so cool. Kind of a shame that it is just Abandoned I bet at 1 time it was a beautiful place it's a shame.

[@juliehoot3916]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing. Love Sadie 🖤! I live in a very scary time. 😬

Very interesting to see this area today, in comparison to my travels there in the 1980's. Differences, yet similarities. The past is a part of us. Thank you for the reminder of our connection to the past...and for sharing!

Thanks for sharing

Glad you did this someone was asking about bombay beach in a meetup group for nomads

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I hope you'll share it with the group!! thanks for watching

I went last year and I can't even believe how much more art is there now. Enjoyed the video as always. :)

[@melo3555]

Hey Caroline, I am so confused about the Salton Sea. I was there, 40 years ago, exactly 40 years ago, and the place was kind of a ghost town, we stayed in a crappy motel, they had sand blowing everywhere, no water in the swimming pool. No other guests. The owner was there and handed us sheets and towels and charged us US$25 for a week. We were only staying for 2 nights but took the weekly rate, lol. There was no water in the sea, but there was a marina, which had no water near it, it was all sand and desolate as well. There were new subdivisions, that had all the plumbing and electrical, etc., but no houses were built. Just marked out. There were lots of billboards along a highway advertising the place. So… All the houses that you were looking at, where they built newer than 40 years ago?

[@louiselemarr533]

I was there in the 80's and remember water in the Salton Sea, but mainly big stinky beaches cuz of dead fish. The were a few real estate sales offices, but they were not doing much. And I don't believe all those cottages were there yet.

[@cathythomas298]

The poetry house looks like a spartan trailer

[@PlayfullyPainting]

Epic tour. A toxic wasteland painted and sculpted with colors of peace, pain and hope

[@lindaslowstitcher2386]

My first thought was I live in my house which was quickly followed by I live in my mind. I find this area a little creepy but appreciate the beauty of the art.

[@alicial6072]

Yes, I saw it on someone's else's video years ago and the history fascinates me, so I plan on stopping by when I start traveling but is it a bucket list item absolutely not if I miss it, I won't lose any sleep over it. Now I have NO desire to go to the slabs, just not my cup of tea.
