Deep in the California Badlands, east of the dying Salton Sea, lies the remains of an old artillery base. Abandoned for decades, theres little trace of the machinery of war. In its place, an unlikely settlement found its roots, clinging to the stripped concrete slabs that the desert does its best to swallow. This is Slab City The Last Free Space. Its always been a unique community, a kinship and culture flourishing in the dust. But now, more than ever, the desert whispers salvation to those looking to escape society. Everyones got their own story, some choose to call this ramshackle mecca home; others dont have a choice. Nothings ever come easy to those that find themselves on the Slabs. Decades of human waste and scattered military ordnance make this a poisonous and dangerous place to live. Its inhospitable nature keeps the developers, local authorities and the lazy arm of the law at bay.
