Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea
Plagues and Pleasures on The Salton Sea is a wonderful and slightly skewy documentary about the Salton Sea and the people who remained after the 1950's good-time crowd fled. The only DVD I've ever desperately wanted to own.
Salton Sea
The Salton Sea. A massive inland accidental sea, created by irrigation gone drastically wrong. The beach crunches as you walk on it, and if you're curious enough to look down you'll find that the 'sand' is in fact the decaying bones of the tilapia fish that die in their thousands here when the algae blooms starve them of oxygen.
