Anyone been to Slab City, California?

Will be going there during our 3-day bachelor party that will see us go to Slab City, Lake Havasu and Las Vegas.

It looks like there is a documentary done on Slab City and it looks pretty crazy. Don't know what they guys have planned there but if anyone that have been there, what am I expecting?

It's known as the last free place in America.

If you make it out of your house it would be a miracle. Loser.

I passed through there when I was like 13-14. I have an uncle that lives near Palm Springs and I was visiting for a week. He took me waterfowl hunting at the Wister Wildlife Refuge in Niland. Around noon we went driving around because the birds weren't probably going to start moving around until the mid afternoon.

Slab City isn't that far away from where we were hunting so we went to check it out. Let me tell you....it was crazy! It was something like out of a post apocalyptic world. People living in squalor, beat up trailers and patchwork huts. There were cars with the engines taken out and replaced with barbecue pits, everyone was dirty, the kids and adults faces were both dirty and full of sorrow. It seemed like the primary mode of transport for them was beat up old vans and old motorcycles. It was straight up Mad Max I tell you! :oldlol:

I didn't feel comfortable there. Everyone was checking us out because my uncle's new truck stood out. My uncle kept teasing me to get out and say high, but these people seemed like monsters to me. And what's more was that they were mostly all white! I don't think even the illegal aliens would pass through there. To date, I don't think I have seen another community of white people living in such 3rd world conditions. Maybe it's changed in the last 12+ years but it was desert ghetto AF back then.

It is still like that from what I have heard and the documentaries on Vice about the place.
