Day 16-1 Jan 27 Red Hill Park to the Mud Pots
Share
clear

This was a day to visit some very strange spaces. It started with a 1 mile trip over some very rough unpaved roads along the side of the Salton Sea to the mud pots. These are small 5 foot high volcano like piles of mud with the center occupied by boiling mud from the center of the earth  that burps and belches until the pile is so high it collapses. There are no signs or brochures describing this natural wonder. Only the locals know where to go to find them. The photo only shows the center of one with several boils. We then drove out of the farm lands to Niland and on to Slab City.
