Just East of Niland, CA is Salvation Mountain. Constructed by Leonard Knight. He's been away not for about a year, in an assisted living facility in San Diego |
The Yellow Brick road goes all the way to the top o the mountain |
There are several hollow places under the mountain. All have personal items placed by Leonard |
This is inside the old fire truck he lived in for over 20 years. |
Ronda and I played dualing cameras through a plastic port hole |
A good day to travel. Ross Waugh, David's brother went along with us on his Nomad. He's visiting from Calgary, Alberta |
We brought our KIA down her so we could haul company around. We plan to sell it soon, really don't need it any more. |
Ronda made it to the top. That's the start of "Slab City" in the background |
The mountain has one person that is sort of a watchman now. |
Another of the inside rooms. The trophy's are mostly for things Leanord was recognized for during the Tomato Days Festivals in past years, and other awards |
Leonard made no bones about his Spiritual Beliefs |
The other side of the plastic porthole. Ronda with her Tablet/camera |
Preston, Karen, Ronda and Pat inside the mountain |
Ross and Sherm |
Ross taking pictures with his phone |
Near the Stage. Every Saturday is "open mic" night, as well as other activities. It's still a busy place in Slab City |
A restroom, shower, and workshop |
Abandoned tool box. Anything of value is gone |
This car has been out here for a long time |
Transportation to town |
A Desert Rat with his ponies. He looked to be in his 60's. He'd been on his cell phone a long time so I didn't get a chance to see if he's let us take a better picture of him |
Waiting for the food. Ross was the first to be served |
My low carb lunch |
Learned some from this plaque |
Painting from inside the Mexican Cafe where we had lunch |
New this year, this is a nice little place to eat |
