Adventure 3

Slab City Overview

Jan 8. Brawley, CA

We have passed by thousands of acres of produce, several thermal energy plants and a feed lot of thousands of cows which I believe are dariy types. UGH!! Disgusting.

Finally arrived in Brawley where we spent time in a local coffee shop catching up on emails and then we were advised that the only bar showing football and perhaps the only bar was the Brawley Inn’s Aspen Lounge and Conference Center. We were lucky enough to meet the “president” of the bar upon entering and was welcomed by all his “subservients”.

Payton Manning was the favored player for most except an attractive young Hispanic women, Jet fan, in the crowd whose very over weight mom took a likening to us and kept us in the conversation during the commercials.

Hugs all around as we left the scene. Jets winning. Over weight mom, :probably never see you again but love you guys.”

Back to Slab City for the night. Luckily we had tracked it on our GPS and found Tank Rd. and our little Casita. The singing guy next to us had gone to bed but there was lots of activity on thru the night of cars and trucks and people talking.

Off bright and early after a photo opt of the area for Borrego Springs.
