You're video is awesome. Keep doing great video regarding Salton sea. Soon the lake will revived it's beauty with the help of people like you as we recognize the place by watching your video. This will attract the tourist to visit Salton sea. God bless you.

[@rubenmejias7302]

Great video. Really showed great detail

[@dennisdevine3382]

RIP Lenard Knight. Thank you for your building of Salvation Mt. I've seen your story on Huel Howser's California Gold & I appreciated your enthusiasm.

[@heyoldman2003]

i love that area. being from the great north wet( west) to be in the warm sun daily is Heaven to me i stayed for a couple months one winter at a state park on the east side of the sea.. loved it 😍

[@jdee8407]

Wonderful way to view a place.

[@mark_girardeau]

I've been there a few times but never knew about these other stops, thanks again for another great video! I'll have to check those stops out next time

[@ianmandel352]

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks Ian, I appreciate the comment!

This was a very good presentation for the Salton Sea... Thanks for making this video a positive representation, and giving the Salton Sea the attention it needs. I'm gonna have to check these things out next I roll through there! Great video!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Great job of showing us 24 hours there! We are going there over the Christmas / New Years holiday this year - will let you know what we think. Thanks for a great video!

[@julestrdprodjimavicpro2869]

great video! im heading there next weekend for 2 day and 2 nights of exploring and fishing!

[@julestrdprodjimavicpro2869]

@Daphne Van Zant it was Hell on Earth 122 in the day! never again in the summer

[@ronw8799]

Visited this area Jan. 2019 and it was great, wish we had seen this video 1st but still saw many of these attractions. Bombay Beach was a trip and Salvation Mt. was cool.

[@georgepescod3676]

WOW! I cant wait to take my family to this beauuuuutiful vacation spot that will for sure delight us with its "unique" attractions and atmosphere! My 10 year old is dying to look and admire the modern artwork these abandoned places have become, plus my wife cant count the days when she finally arrives at the International Banana Museum (IBM). Salton Sea .... here we cooooome!

[@Drrlew22]

😂

[@onamvalenzo5097]

Thank you, I was searching info bout the Salvation Mountain. Great Trip.

[@jegod4603]

Great video, awesome place to visit,I love the Salton Sea , this is a place you need to come see in real life for your self

[@JustTravelous]

i fished there when i was a kid im 40 now, it was a great place to fish and the fish is called covina they can get up to 40 pounds they have teeth too lol i had family lived there back in the day great video brings back old memories thanks

[@JustTravelous]

Daphne Van Zant yep they are toxic, back in the early 90s it was getting bad boy it was hot in the day time we always fished at night

[@glennrodeorealtyrealtor5622]

Salton Sea is a interesting area. I hope the state can find a way to support to revive back the sea back to past time. This area host many unique animals found no where else on earth. It also imported to see how valuable this place is to our economy.

[@radjrjbd97]

Enjoyed the video about the Salton Sea. Interesting place, would like to visit one day.

[@garyvallone5393]

Great video brother!!

[@brynleehassan3614]

I've been wanting to go here since I was little it's always fascinated me but I live in Alberta so it's taken a while of saving

[@whackamolechamp]

I have been there several times as early as 1985. If you are like decay this is the place for you. It's the Sea of Broken Dreams in a sense.

[@danphan1894]

I saw many Canadian camping here in the winter, and summer theyd gone

[@jarryd8167]

Will be taking a road trip that includes driving up from Yuma to Joshua Tree - thanks for the tips!

[@MEXICANMOOSE1976]

Your presentation is top notch..mainstream media..move the heck over!! Subbed and Notification Squad-ed!! Haha Repping L.A. and Orange Counties here!! 💣💥🔥🔥🔥👊👊✌😎

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Great video! You really showed the area well.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks! It is a unique place for sure but worth exploring

[@SuctionMonsters]

Great video! Thanks for featuring food. Is the date shake still there? This reminded me to post my Salton Sea roadtrip video. I actually camped on the shore...lol

[@latinagirl2ful]

Thanks for all your info. Love your videos and because of them right now I am exploring San Diego Ca. I am originally from Mexicali BCMx. But I have not been back to San Diego until now. Happen to pass by Salton sea and right away started to research about it and I found your video!

[@markrodriquez4128]

As a church-goer, I'd certainly enjoy Salvation Mountain. And I'm curious about those date shakes. Good video.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@brandonburrell8517]

I've never been to the Salton Sea. But the date shakes are delicious. I used to get them on my way back to L.A. from Palm Springs. I definitely want to see Salvation Mountain.

[@GoChaca]

really dug your video, my dude. I just booked a campsite in an almost completely empty campground. Very excited to get out there and explore a bit.

[@ConnorCarbone]

Going here in 2 weeks great video really helped me figure out how to plan my trip

[@tcg_goon6291]

How was your trip?

[@ConnorCarbone]

@@tcg_goon6291 trip was great! Was lots of fun exploring the Salton Sea area. Thanks for asking!

[@erikanunez4621]

Ok, I watched this video 3 years ago and since then I've been wanting to go to TKB Bakery and Deli. I went yesterday and it's delicious 😋. Definitely my new favorite place.

[@annitacollazo]

WOW THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO!!! THANK YOU

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for the comment, glad the video helped!

[@VisionCommunications]

I’ve always wondered about that place. Thanks for sharing, but WOW! That’s a hot mess!

[@KJ-xc6qs]

That date shake looked mighty good, off I go to get me one! :P

[@californiathroughmylens]

I want to get one right now too!

[@chrispajak540]

Good video. I think I’ll sit this one out, mate...

[@lynetteashman7763]

Well done but you missed the Salton Butte mud pools. Is the trout farm still out there?

[@SuperFelicia2010]

I always Felt so curious about this place because of the Indie MOVIE "Little Birds". Thanks for your tour. Amazing place!! Saludos from Brazil!

[@vladmira]

Great travel video!

[@VentureAHighway]

Salton Sea is really out in the middle of no where, but its not so far away that it can't be done, will definitely be visiting at some point :)

[@jeffpierce9120]

A feature you did not mention would be the 'Mud Volcanoes' on the SE side. The 'Sea' is indeed fascinating and well below sea level.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Yea, that is a great spot as well! Thanks for the comment

[@barefooboy17]

Mud Volcanos are closed off to the public now

[@C-TOS]

I don't think the Salton Sea is the place for a picnic, but paraphrasing the late Huwell Howser, it is quite unique in beauty.

[@Menstral]

This was great, subscribed.

[@NickB1967]

What needs to be done to the Salton Sea is a partition dam with a spill way. One side would become a salt lake, growing fresher over time, fed by ag runoff as always. The other side would become a Salt sump, perhaps the salt could be put to use by industry.

[@jenniferweil6569]

Thank you. Really informative.

[@SaunieHolloway]

Save The Salton Sea! It's a very important stopover for migrating birds along the Pacific Flyway!

[@chuckchuck4016]

Daphne Van Zant 95 percent of California’s wetlands are gone so that pit stop for the birds is gone.They now use the salton sea plus once the the salton dries up dust storms filled with cancerous particles will spread all over the American Southwest

[@chuckchuck4016]

@Daphne Van Zant fixing a giant accident wont be cheap for sure

[@KaiserStormTracking]

The Salton Sea combined with the nearby Salton Buttes Volcano helped create the geothermal features

[@markuspritsch5933]

Sittin here groovin with the music...

[@JJF10101957]

50 years ago Salton Sea used to be a really good sport fishing lake. I've seen 25pound tilapia come out of that sewer. The towns around the sea used to have open air sewer canals not that long ago. Lets Eat!

[@simmack17]

Sick

[@dalebelseth3058]

Well hosted

[@whatonearth3523]

Nice, cool, short, good clip

[@annonnie]

Thanks for the info Josh. On my to-do list is to actually stay at Slab City after dark. Heard it's a total trip!

[@reubenmarchant2229]

You missed the mud pots and Obsidian Butte, considered an active volcano and its three sister volcanoes just off shore. Obsidian Butte does have obsidian, be careful it is sharper than a razor.

[@cowboydotgov4490]

Great video

[@bongbongtravels6108]

Did you drop by painted and Ladder Canyon?

[@californiathroughmylens]

Yep, such a cool spot. I made a video about it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6jYgqiXiNOUaqs

[@bongbongtravels6108]

California Through My Lens , im wondering if grand circle is in the pipeline?

[@M00NCHILD57]

I’m surprised you didn’t speak about Congressman Sonny Bono for his massive conservation efforts at the Salton Sea in 1998. Thanks for sharing your experience at Saltón Sea

[@marcusbullock630]

used to fish here back in the day. the salinity was identical to marine so for a while they were stocking alot of marine fish species like sierra mackerel (a small kind of spanish mackerel), sargo, corvina, various croakers like yellowfin, white, spotfin, even some flatfish and various marine invertebrates made it in there. it would be amazing if they can somehow reduce the salinity back to marine and clean it up because that was awesome. it quickly degraded after 2003

[@Bpg1111]

I heard tilapia fishing is still good and plentiful out there

[@Boojyman]

Great vid

[@rinkrat55]

Did you know the Salton Sea is in GTA5? Head north on the map to Sandy Shores. They even include Salvation Mountain, Abandon homes, trailer parks and the railway.

[@Zudasworld]

Any chance my channel could use some of your video in ours with credit and link?

[@Lorevillegas1]

I LOVE SALTON SEA

[@oson3061]

Great video, but you forgot the Bombay Beach Drive-in Movie Theatre. I got invited by the locals to watch a movie and have carne asada tacos=)

[@melissahall7009]

Thank you!

[@Jless13]

I have this weird obsession with the Salton Sea and soooo many questions...yes...Google IS my friend but yet I STILL can't process how this happened...and better yet...why the AF are we not fixing it!. THANK You for making it feel like a worthy place on our CA map. I feel a road trip coming on. :-)

[@randomadventures4750]

The lake/stream/canal that feeds into the sea is filled with so much chemicals or pollutants that settled in the lake already. Just not possible to remove the toxins or bring it down to a safe level without spending an astronomical amount of money. We tested a tilapia from the sea last week, the mercury level is little over 7 times the safe limit.

[@Jless13]

@@randomadventures4750 omg!! That’s absolutely tragic 😥

[@mreppen1]

I actually have teacher clients there, used to go often.

[@kareemsalessi]

Good video::: If you can, please post another version of this video, but without background-music. thanks. K.S.

[@vuho2075]

How can you eat there with the smell???

[@carlrichard1831]

is the fountain of youth spa or the lark spa still going ?

[@luperamos7307]

So there is nothing on the west side of the Salton Sea? Salton City, Desert Shores, etc? There are also two checkpoints around the Salton Sea. I think that should be included in travel videos bc it's pretty weird to international travelers and many people are affected by those.

[@salvadorramirez6193]

Wait was this on nore shore or salton city?

[@josueletelier1745]

Cool

[@PMELKUS]

I remember the Salton Sea from when it was the place to be. Summer of 68 a camping trip and I learn how to water ski was some good times back there and now it's so sad to see what has happen since then. The good news is this can be fixed if the State would put up the the money.

[@genekelly8467]

Withe the sea cleaned up and refilled, this place would be another Palm Springs

[@AlexCab_49]

Save Salton sea!

[@johnmccaffery5186]

I am very surprised that you passed up east Jesus! Sits right next to slab city, an excellent artists community, better than slab city!

[@westcoasthiker76]

cool

[@hungtrinh8898]

Can you swim in salton sea??

[@randomadventures4750]

It's not recommended. The sea is so polluted with farming runoffs, and chemicals being dumped in from factories. The fish have a very high mercury level and it's not safe to eat. That's why there's so much fish being washed up. Also, the water is extremely murky and smelly.

[@edwinkubena9944]

Trashy looking place that somehow fascinates me. Will put it on the bucket list a quick hour look around!

[@toshibavoodoo]

Love this area, I want to go so badly on a roadtrip over in this part of the country. Btw, what gimbals are you using for the video footage, and are you using the Canon EOS 70D?

[@californiathroughmylens]

Hey, I didn't use any gimbal in this video, just stabilized it in Final Cut Pro, which is why it has the wobble effect. Thanks for the comment and have fun if you explore the area

[@sandrabedoya9653]
