Tales of finding a shipwreck in the Colorado Desert near the present day Salton Sea have been around for hundreds of years. The stories have featured Spanish explorers getting stuck during the last days of an ancient dying lake, Vikings in California, and prospectors coming across the ship after days of crossing the barren desert.
The best legends have some truth to them. A massive lake now called Lake Cahuilla was once found taking up most of the Imperial Valley and the early Spanish explorers to the area did travel up the Colorado River into the desert.
In this video we start to explore some of the sites near the Salton Sea where the Lost Ship of the Desert had reportedly been seen over the years. Then, we come across something unexpected that brings an unexpected end to our travels for the day.
---Dog Update--
The dog never let us get too close, but after about an hour Imperial Valley Animal Control arrived to the scene. When they were able to secure the dog, it did look like it was favoring her (we found out it was a girl as well) left paw. She was really scared and shaking, but they were able to get her into the Animal Control vehicle without too much trouble.
We were told that she would be placed on hold for seven days (not counting the holidays) to see if anyone claims her. After that she will become property of the county and be placed for adoption. We did take down the phone number and will be calling to see how she's doing this week, and I'll post an update once I know more.
I want to add that Jesus from the Imperial Valley Animal Control did a great job and was incredibly professional. Hopefully whoever abandoned this dog had a terrible Christmas.
