Slab City is a location that has called to me for years. Ever since first reading about it in the book Into The Wild, I have had a desire to visit. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. If you're craving more Slab City, get the details on the Destination Adventure Podcast:   / destinationadventure  

My first impression of Slab City was not very good to be honest, but that is because I was just driving around looking from my window, like a typical tourist. Once I stopped, met the locals and really got in touch with the community, then I started to understand what the Slabs is all about. This "City" has been home to people ever since the 50's. Many of the citizens living there now have been there for decades, and some only a few years. The winters are wild, the summers are brutally hot, but something still calls people to this place. The citizens of Slab City are by definition "homeless" but so am I. I felt very welcomed into the community, and if it wasn't so darn hot, I would have certainly stayed longer. Meeting Dot and Peter were definite highlights of my visit, but so was my time at salvation mountain. Many folks come to Slab City just to see the mountain in all of its glory, and to me it was a dream come true. I truly hope you all enjoy this video, and if you have the chance, I definitely recommend a visit to the slabs. If you do visit, don't just take photos out your car window, get out and meet the locals. Offer yourself the opportunity to properly enjoy Slab City.
