Low Flying Aircraft

“I gotta visit this place, the Salton Sea. Absolutely Ballardian. I'm picturing Low Flying Aircraft.

Coming in May is what looks to be a neat documentary, Plagues & Pleasures on the Salton Sea, narrated by John Waters.

Accidentally” created by an engineering error in 1905, reworked in the 50’s as a world class vacation destination for the rich and famous, suddenly abandoned after a series of hurricanes, floods, and fish die-offs, and finally almost saved by Congressman Sonny Bono, the Salton Sea has a bittersweet past.
