Just visited and it's shocking to see the abandoned buildings but over all the poor population living there. Broke my heart. Thank you for your film, well done.

It’s shocking what’s become of it! Couldn’t believe it myself. I’m interested what it will look like in 5-10 years. Thanks for the kind words! I’ll be making a lot more

Visited the Salton Sea in January 2004. Looks like there are a lot more people living there now and a lot less water. One of the most amazing places I've ever seen -especially at that time of the year with all the birds

@jdandyfilms 5 месяцев назад

It’s a fascinating place! I plan on visiting again sometime early next year to see if anything has changed

Fair play Dandy! Very well put together vid. Randomly came across your video when searching the Salton Sea and what a coincidence it turned out to be

Hey Mark! Thanks for the kind words. Im glad you found me and enjoyed the video!

@ivetteolivares9387 Год назад

Crazy how it’s filled with history and it’s not taken care of!

@jdandyfilms Год назад

yes, quite sad! hopefully things change

@clintonearlwalker 11 месяцев назад

Great video, thanx! I'm here because of "the big melt". Several lakes in CA are filling back up, doesn't look like the Salton Sea is one of them though.

@karnubawax 3 дня назад

None of the snow melt make it that far. The only water going in that lake is agricultural runoff - hence the pollution.

If I had the ambition, I would lead a project to connect the Salton Sea two-way with the ocean so that its water would be refreshed once every 3 years or so, and would turn the land around it into prime real estate. There would be lithium mining and energy production.

@jdandyfilms 8 дней назад

can I join you on this project?

@yolandasandoval7561 2 месяца назад

So sad that a place that used to be a wonderful place to visit ended up like that, I remember when I was around 7 yrs old we went on a boat ride and after that we had lunch, I'm now 68 yrs old. Wonder if I'll see it the way it was or better.

@jdandyfilms 2 месяца назад

It’s very sad indeed! I wish I could go back in time and see it during its glory days

@mtsky-tc6uw 2 месяца назад

back in the 60ties we would bird hunt on the south end of the lake-- was a teenager then but seemed like a normal place

@jdandyfilms 2 месяца назад

Would have loved to experience it then!

@thoughtquake7516 Месяц назад

Thanks for being so respectful of this area and its inhabitants. So many of the creators who post content on here about the Salton Sea just seem to want to exploit its more freakish and bizarre aspects for clicks.

@jdandyfilms Месяц назад

Thanks for the kind words! Thats exactly what I didn’t want to do and I’m glad it shows

Dangerous dust, sadly those Wealthy California Government folks are Not taking accountability to fix a past Engineering error....which filled the basin in the first place....🤯🤢 next step more destructive choices...Lithium mining😳

@Wandawonderstones Месяц назад

Yes, I read somewhere that the lake is full of Lithium, which is used to make batteries.

@karnubawax 3 дня назад

Went there in August once... ONCE! It was 107 degrees. And you can thank God smell-a-vision doesn't exist. It took a week of driving with all the windows open to get the stink out of the car. I'd say Bombay Beach in the summer is the closest you can get to hell without actually going there.

@jdandyfilms День назад

Haha it is unbearably hot in the summer. I was melting when I was there in April

@stickynorth 3 месяца назад

They really need to stabilize the lake/sea water level as well as take steps to reduce it salinity... Perhaps this can be done in conjunction with lithium extraction projects slated for the area since it has the best lithium bring reserves in North America and contains enough of the material to make like 375,000,000 full-sized lithium-ion car batteries using existing/wasteful chemistries that are already reducing both the need for quantity of lithium itself but also other precious rare-earth minerals... After all in 2024? The Chinese are launching sodium-ion batteries in entry level EV's...

@jdandyfilms 2 месяца назад

I hope they can do that sooner than later or else its going to become a very messy situation in the desert!

@Derek032789 6 дней назад

@@jdandyfilms Even in its heyday, it was known that the Salton Sea would eventually die due to pollution and rising salinity levels. It took a while for environmental degradation to reach a critical stage.

@mobileplayers5008 6 месяцев назад

I don't get it why people experienced ashma when they don't even have it? Also why that biggest humans made sea is so deserted in population? I barely see anyone wants to live there in theirs houseboats or yachts. Man that sea just looks dead. It about two hours where I live and I was thinking about buying a houseboat n live there but now im changing my minds.

@jdandyfilms 6 месяцев назад

I think some develop it because of the awful air quality! The sea is definitely dead/dying and not getting better. Might be a tough place to move to!

@mtsky-tc6uw 2 месяца назад

it would be like living on the giant great salt lake--not much going on that either--all the old hot spots are shut down,gone away

@karnubawax 3 дня назад

Go there in the summer, stand on the "beach" composed of fish bones, and take a big whiff. That'll tell you why. I'm sure a houseboat would just disintegrate.
