Camping: Slab City (Niland, CA) and Colorado

Liam and I camped with Burning Man friends in Slab City, CA.  Slab City is a unique place worth seeing once in your life.  I'm fortunate to have good friends; and friends that like to talk to strangers, so I learned a lot about the community.  My pictures are from camera and my iPhone, so they're not sequential.

The fence line of a local's property. 
Slab City Hostel does exist.  I can't say I'd recommend it. 
I don't have any photos of it, but Slab City has a library - a big one, totally worth seeing, no library card required. 
In the tent with Liam Ari Puppypants, the nights were chilly.

Liam Ari Puppypants was born the day she left this world, that's part of the reason why I knew I was supposed to keep him despite just having lost my Boca bear.
