I don't know what we were thinking, but it added somehow to the spookiness, like the sun just like this, like beating down.

And I was so sweaty and exhausted, even thinking about it, I'm getting hot.

Ooh, the Salton Sea smells like dead fish and like rot.

It smells like mud.

It smells, it just smells terrible.

And like in the heat, it feels like the heat is just like cooking it, making it like extra stinky.

I love the Salton Sea.

It's so weird.

Everybody should go there.

Salton Sea is such an anomaly.

You know, first of all, why'd they call it a sea?

It was like the early 1900s.

You ought to know that.

And it wouldn't have even been salty right away.

Like it would have been a freshwater lake for years before the salts kind of built up because of the evaporation because it evaporates so much.

I think that it's hard to appreciate how huge the Salton Sea is.

I flew over it on my way home, which was so satisfying because it's just enormous.

And when you're there, because it's so flat, it's in this imperial valley.

You can't see.

You can't see how far it goes.
