More of the Oregon visitors pictures

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
