0:02 I don't
0:02 know. We don't even
0:37 Welcome everyone. I'm on the biggest
0:38 body of water in California, the Salted
0:41 Sea. Hundreds of feet below sea level.
0:44 This place was a former tourist
0:46 attraction, but the water was so salty
0:49 that it failed. Plenty of abandonment.
0:52 I'm going to go check it out. Join me,
0:54 shall you?
3:29 Just look down to the road now. Either
3:29 side to this side or this side is a
3:33 veritable wasteland. Something out of a
3:36 postapocalyptic movie. Look at
3:48 this. There's like a remnant of like a
3:48 fridge or a car or something. All these
3:50 spare tires sunk down in the
4:01 sand. A lot of memories.
4:01 Homes sitting right here at one time.
4:05 Now nothing
4:07 left except windy,
4:10 salty,
4:13 abandoned. We have broken dreams. It's
4:16 like a trailer. An old trailer, just
4:18 camper trailer just fell apart. You can
4:21 see the sides where the windows would
4:23 have been. You can still see the window
4:25 frame when they said frame broke and
4:28 it's just corroded apart ever since.
4:30 It's amazing. Maybe this is the fridge
4:33 or the counter inside the camp. There's
4:35 the oven right down there. Yeah, someone
4:38 lived right where we're
4:47 standing. It's kind of a weird feeling
4:47 being out here. It's so somber and quiet
4:50 and the salt smell permeates the
4:52 nostrils. And when you're walking along
4:55 the sand or what is this? Shells,
4:57 shells, bones, salt, dirt. Your feet
5:00 sink down into the ground. It's kind of
5:03 weird. Like quick fan almost. Rock
5:05 looking stuff. Isn't rock. It's salt.
5:07 Just built up salt. The wind in our hair
5:10 and the salt in our
5:12 nostrils. It's
5:24 smelly. There's some kind of weird rock
5:24 formation right here. Don't ask me what
5:26 it
5:34 is. Very creepy, solemn, and quiet out
5:34 here. No one but
5:36 us.
5:38 Mystery. And that's the thing is that
5:41 all this is so the water's so sailing
5:44 that all that's covered with salt.
5:46 That's why all that crust. Look at all
5:48 these weird shells. You notice that? I
5:51 never seen these at the beach. Well,
5:53 those are cigarette butts, not shells.
5:55 Those are the weirdest shells I've ever
5:56 seen. Smoking shells out here. Someone's
6:06 rope. It's a lasso. A moing rope. It's
6:06 burying in the ground. Why is it buried
6:08 in the ground like that? Stuck in the
6:11 ground. Any reason
6:19 why
6:19 carpet? Because the sea is so salty,
6:23 there are plenty of dead fish all along
6:26 the
7:17 here. Bird bones. That's a beak right
7:17 there. That's a beak. Are you touching
7:20 that?
7:22 Are you touching that?
7:24 Birds of a feather flock
7:45 red. This entire lake was actually
7:45 accidentally man-made. The Colorado
7:48 River created this. And over the years,
7:52 I don't really know what I'm gonna say,
7:53 so I'm just gonna keep mumbling. And you
7:55 can figure it out on your
8:11 own. Trouble camera. Look how it's just
8:11 crystized. My feet are in
8:14 bones. These are all fish vertebrae, not
8:18 shells. All fish vertebrae. All this is
8:21 bones. Look at here. Ribs, fish ribs,
8:25 jaws. It's all vertebrae. Millions and
8:27 millions of
8:29 tiny fish vertebrae. That's this whole
8:52 Yeah. What is
8:52 that? What's that
8:54 bird? A crane. Oh, that's a type of
8:58 bird. Oh, wait a second. Oh, it's a
9:01 double entandra. It's a crane.
9:05 Crane. You have your tetanis shot cuz I
9:08 hope you have your tetanus shot.
9:11 You're the one touching it. You should
9:12 be worried about tetanus. I'm holding a
9:14 camera. You're holding a rust gouging
9:17 metal
10:27 That is gross though. Why are you
10:27 touching
