Salton sea thread aka dead fish thread

>>2084783
I went to the Salton Sea as a kid. We were in the area on vacation and my parents wanted to see it. I never knew it used to be a big deal. For years I could never see why my parents wanted to see a big festering stink pit.

>hordes of flies

You're not kidding. We used a public washroom when we were there, the lights didn't work but they had running water and flushing toilets. It took a second for my eyes to adjust to the darkness when I noticed that the wall appeared to be moving, I leaned in closer and the wall was literally coated with a blanket of flies. On the upside, I can't bring myself to complain about most public washrooms any more, they just don't ever seem as bad.
