The REAL California Adventure

I've been to Disneyland and I've been to California Adventure, but this is real:
CALIFORNIA (DESERT) ADVENTURE:

  • Depart LA as early or as late as you please
  • Arrive at Fountain Of Youth & set up a tent in their primitive camp area (dirt parking lot). This is for snowbirds only, so don't expect too warm of a welcome.

  • In the morning, sweat it out in the steam room & sauna!
  • Take dips in the jacuzzis & pools!
  • Leave that place and head for Niland, CA
  • Tour Salvation Mountain

  • Ask around for what to do/where the hotsprings are/where to camp (the best part is word of mouth is the only way to get this information really)
  • Buy groceries for dinner
  • Get to your campsite- watch out for tweakers
  • *Recommended campsite is above Salvation Mountain to the right on the cliff by the 2 water towers covered in murals of different animals doing eachother

  • Ask hippies in the hotsprings what they're up to that night (if it's Saturday the only place to go is the range- outdoor generator run open mic/talent show of the locals of Slab City)

  • Make a fire back at camp
  • Sleep well on the cliff's edge- someone should have a tiny falling out because of an argument regarding the proper way to make a fire (teepee vs lincoln logs)
  • Wake up & make instant coffee in old beer bottles
  • Drive to the Salton Sea

  • Go to a bar there but maybe just order water as drinking in this sad place is sorta sad
  • Rescue someone stuck in the sand

  • Experience an earthquake (3 a week they say)
  • Steal oranges from the orchards on the drive home
