Anyone in Slab City right now?

[Coywolf]

Just wondering if anyone is in the slabs right now. Never been there and Im looking at coming down to SoCal desert for a month or so to escape this terrible Oregon winter. Can you still swim in that canal, and is the hot spring still soakable? Also wondering what the Day Labor work is like in Palm Springs. I'm looking to come out and spend some time in my truck, write some Music, do a few projects, and just generally enjoy exploring the desert. I have looking for this info elsewhere and havent found it. Do i need to worry about there being a shitload of thieving assholes out there at the moment? Any info would be freakin' great. Thanks!

You can do a quick "members search" in the members area for location. There are 4 members listing slab city as their location. One runs the Library (where the recent stp gathering was held), another runs an eco village area. Hope this helps you.

There was plenty of soaking and swimming back in October....

Yeah there's a few of us scattered around. You should come through and check it out for yourself.

I believe one of the mods here is out there @EphemeralStick and another guy I know is Brett Tornow - tall guy with beard and wild dreads - he just got there last week.

<edit> oops - you hopped on before I could post

The more I hear about the more I want to go see it for myself. It's a very popular place on this site...

have you hit up your "friendly neighborhood queer" and fabulous STP moderator @EphemeralStick yet? I'm sure he would be happy to help you guys 'pitch a tent' (sorry couldn't resist the pun!)

Awesome, thanks!

Yea I'll be back on the 28th. @humanvirtue I'll be happy to show you guys around once I get back. For now I suggest going to either Internet cafe or the eco village to meet people.

 

[EphemeralStick]

I'm back in the slabs. Come say hi sometime! You can find me at the library during most of the day.

@EphemeralStick

Is it crowded as hell down there right now? I'm definitely coming down, not sure when yet, trying to decide whether to drive my rig down and possible get stuck, or hitch/hop down there and then head back to the NW for my rig, hard decision as of yet ::bag::
