Lost Signals
“This was written in bright orange paint marker in desperate, trembling letters on the wall of a religious alcove. It stood out among the small paintings of saints and messages of hope that adorned Salvation Mountain. When we first saw it, we thought it was desecration. By the time everything was done, I understood that it was a warning.
We were eight miles away from the Salton Sea, a quick stop to film some b-roll and see the sights out in the middle of the vast nothing. Salvation Mountain was ...a singular work of insanity or religious devotion, depending on your perspective. Thousands of gallons of paint, hay, glue, and trash sculpted into the hellish desert as a last refuge. It was the first stop on our road to hell.
A little ways up the road was Slab City, an enclave of people who’d reclaimed an abandoned artillery range in the desert, parked their motor homes, and started a strange, off-the-grid community. Sharon and I were there to interview the residents and document their lives for a fluff piece on the late news back in LA.MoreLess
