Driving through the town, there’s a plethora of abandoned homes and graffiti warning millenials and Instagrammers to “stay away from Bombay Beach. I felt like I was in a scene from Children of the Corn where the couple gets lost and ends up stuck in a ghost town. (I linked the opening scene to the Children of the Corn link because I couldn’t find that specific scene. Before the Salton Sea became the barren and toxic wasteland we see today, Bombay Beach was a flourishing desert getaway booming in the 50’s and 60’s where the rich could swim, golf, and party on their yachts.

Since March, I went through a lot of life changes, which I plan on going over in detail in a separate post. He surprised me to this Airbnb called Purple Peaks, which not to my knowledge was planned months in advance. It was difficult finding the place on the first night because I got there at night and had to drive through dirt desert roads with no streetlights. It’s in a semi-secluded space quite of a bit away from any neighbors fenced in with two separate glamp tents, buses, an outdoor shower, outdoor kitchen, and places to rest and chill.
