What a beautiful eclectic village that was made from garbage of an abandoned California dump, that was once an Army base, even before the dump. Make sure you visit the library, Cornelius Van Gogh, the Librarian will even let you take out books and return them whenever you return to Slab City. If I'm not mistaken; Tuesday night is movie night outside the library. Just ask for details inside. She's done a fantastic job of running and keeping the library up to date and she even stopped what she was doing to give us the grand tour. :)
Check out her You Tube Channel and subscribe to the Cornelius Van Gogh adventures.
They're really one of a kind residents, they've made a home from our garbage, that they have to share with the public 24/7. You're visiting, and they live there, and, they're so willing to show and tell you all the secrets, the stories, and the treasures of their lost world.
Please be kind and leave a tip and, don't forget your swimsuit to dip in the natural hot springs on your way out of Slab City. read more
