The first time I went to the Salton Sea I was amazed at it’s size. I clearly remember saying to myself. How can an accidental overflow create such an enormous lake. It just didn’t sit right with me. Now I just learned about how maps up to the 16th century showed California as an island. Of course they say it was a misconception on the part of the map makers. Yet there are several, numerous maps all displaying California as an island Thus just another lie in this never ending world of lies told to us from grade school until now, from the government. Making lies into facts. Wow!!

Visited that place in the late 80s. It had nothing but dead fish, flies and stink. I wonder how it was when it was fubar.

I don’t know about anyone else but all the campsites are full in Southern California so we came here to the Salten Sea to camp and we are enjoying it no partying no loud music nice and quiet. Nice place to get away from the rat race for a couple days

The modern Salton Sea was the result of a major Colorado River flood. This happened before dams, e.g., Hoover, was constructed. Flood water can only get to the Sea via Mexico who was using Colorado River water for irrigation. The flood waters were diverted back into the Colorado River bed when a private-enterprise railroad reconstructed a levy that had washed out by the flood. If man were not involved, the Sea would dry up – a natural event. As long as Colorado River water is diverted to the Imperial Valley via the All-American Canal, the Sea will remain at some reduced size. Part of today’s salinity load comes from sewage treatment for Calexico, Mexico. Enough dams cannot be built that would provide sufficient water to “refresh” the Sea and keep it as a fresh water entity.

It is sad. I went to visit on 03/15/2017 for the first time and then I went home to watch more history about this place. I ran with the documentary Plagues and Pleasures it broke my heart to see that on our own back yard there are this issues with this community. A promise that was never delivered and then again we are sending money else where and trying to fix the problems of other countries while on our back yard there is huge need of restoring this community or helping them out to move out of this place until the issues of the water is fixed. As my part I am going to do some more research and see what resources are out there to help this community.

Any one interested you can respond to this comment. Because the government is not going to anything its the community that we need to unite and do something for this people.

So, the pop-up says you need (another) $703 to keep the site on-line this month [13mar2017]. What? No wait, WHAT? $703 dollars, what the hell type of gold plated hosting do you have? For $10 a month you can get a good plan, heck even at $100 a month for an awesome plan you are still saving $603. How do you need ( another ) $703, I just don’t get it. What, are you paying yourself, is this your job? I don’t know, just can’t get my head around it, just stopped by to get a little history on how the sea was made. Really, ( another ) $703, still can’t get over it. OK, whatever, I’ve taken up enough of your time. The sea does smell bad.

Joe could not give a damn about a few birds,
Nobody ever watched the film Matrix? Well its like that. Ole joe indoctrinated his underachievers idealism into everybody and made sure it all fit or else you would be destroyed and recreated to suit.
Ole joe wants only himself to be satisfied when the world ends. That was after he forced a late start on this planet… what a fantastic looser
