About fifty miles southeast of Palm Springs lies the Salton Sea, a former resort destination that I had wanted to stalk ever since seeing Troy Paiva’s haunting images of the place on his website Lost America. Due to the fact that it is largely abandoned and hence lacking in public restrooms, I hesitated making the trek out there.

The “Salton Riviera” (as the resort community came to be called) was an initial success, taking in over $4.25 million in lot sales in just its opening weekend. Politicians and Hollywood celebrities frequented the desert oasis, and it became one of California’s most popular recreation retreats. However, most of the lots that were purchased were for investment and few were developed. The resort community collapsed towards the end of the 1970s.
