~SLAB CITY~

For those of you that are done with rat race and want to hit the open road this might be a place of gathering during the colder winter months. Some residents stay all year long but be aware of the high 100/110 degree temps you'll endure during the summer months.

Slab City is located in South Eastern California about 3 miles outside the town of Niland. Slab city was once the home to WWII Marine Barracks named Camp Dunlap but was abandoned. It is now home for many travelers in the winter months with a few full time residents. Slab city has a musical stage, a public library and also has a nice hot spring that has been diverted into a shower box for those who need a shower.

It's a place for anyone to lay their head that needs one and they can do so without the fear of law enforcement telling them to move along. Some call this the last free place in America. Here's a video showing many of the sights there are to see at this counter culture oasis.
