Slabs refers to the cement foundations of the buildings from an old WWII military installation on the east side of the Salton Sea between the sea and the military bombing range. It is home to, shall we say, an ecletic group of people who set up camp there and live in everything from fancy motor homes to plywood shacks....all rent free. Of course, there are no water or sewage facilities there.... Our local, very undermanned sheriffs department avoids it unless they have to deal with a felony or go along with the DEA to raid the meth labs out there. <BR/><BR/>Wonder what else STRS is spending our retirement money on ?Dan Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397636504405471939noreply@blogger.com
