I used to fly out here when practicing low-level desert flight (helicopters, I was an aircremwan).
We would land right next to the lake but not overfly it. At night, it was like a perfect mirror.
But man did it smell, it was eerie af, and the dust sometimes made all your gear stink for days.
I seem to recall an orange? grove that grew next to where we would land. I always wondered if it's proximity to the Salton Sea affected their taste.
It continually got worse and worse, and this was back in 2003-2012, while I was out there.
Edit: One of my favorite photos, of a sign, where we would land.
Yes, those are bullet holes, no not from us.
Looks like we have our next Discovery channel reality TV show. Which cast member finds a bomb in today's episode? Tune in to Lithium Blast at 9 o'clock central to find out!
