to the sea

we took a drive down to the salton sea yesterday on a whim.  it's such an interesting place, and we only were able to spend a few hours by the visitors center.  there is so much more to see there, including boiling mud pits (which eliot is ecstatic about), that we will most certainly be back soon.  it has this abandoned feeling, not in a creepy way, but more like in a relaxed way.  like maybe it was never supposed to be as busy as it was in its heyday?  this place has been filling up and then drying out again for hundreds and hundreds of years.  it's hard to get in the way of cycles like that.  anyway, read more about it here.  and you'll probably see more of it here too.  i shot some 120 film, i hope it comes out!!
