Exploring California’s Poisoned Paradise: A road trip to the Salton Sea!

Published 2024-04-03
In today’s video, we’re taking you along on one of our most unique road trips yet! From the busy landscape of Quartsite, AZ, where van lifers and travelers of all kinds live in the middle of nowhere for 6 months out of the year. To the surreal landscapes of Bombay Beach at the Salton Sea, CA, a man-made anomaly. After 6 months of living in our van and traveling the country, we’ve seen our fair share of incredible places, but nothing quite like this. Join us as we learn all about Bombay Beach’s history and future!

    These keep getting better and better!! Obsessed with the way you guys film.
  • This was a very cool find! Sometimes those are the best days - just driving and seeing what you can find. The drone footage was beautiful. Thanks again for bringing us along on your adventures.
  • @user-pr3dz4hi2p
    I know that I had seen something in reference to this location at some earlier date but your video is much more intriquing, and the commentary is much more enjoyable! You guys do such an incredible job!!!
  • @Momof2-71
    Love all the palm trees of course.. Uncle John knew about this place. I had never heard of it.. oh I like the singing also. Lol ❤

  • @MaineExplorer
    You two can't get much further from home in the lower 48. Congrats on getting to Cally. Also, Cody your quite brave to let your drone fly while your riding in the van. I dont know if I'd trust mine lol. Great video as always!
  • @mundymundy25
    I totally relate to Cody's need for a plan!! But you guys are so adventurous exploring without one! Loved the video 🙂
  • @cindyc.8625
    Great video! I loved learning about Bombay Beach. I've never heard of it. 😮
  • Great footage!!! But like you Jill.. being landlocked freaks me out!! Continued safe travels to you !
  • @lilyannepaints
    So cool! I’ve lived and camped in CA all my life and have never checked out Bombay Beach. I’m going to have to check it out! While you’re down there, don’t miss Joshua Tree which includes two dessert systems. There used to be BLM land nearby too.
  • I love your chemistry so much! Jillian is a great DJ! :) I love the idea she has about the music to listen to. USA is beautiful! Thank you so much, for sharing your amazing trip with us. I have a question: Do you also plan (in the future) to go/fly to Alaska or Hawaii?
