California’s Salton Sea was once a sparklingdesert oasis, attracting vacationers in mobile homes and RVs. The people have
gone but their trailers remain. Located
in Southern California’s Colorado Desert, the Salton Sea was created
inadvertently in 1905 when a “perfect storm” of heavy rains and ill-advised
construction of irrigation canals allowed the mighty Colorado
River to divert into the bone-dry Salton Sink.
