ChopCult Event: Slab City Riot at Salton Sea, Nov. 14

Written By: Harold McGruther

Categorized in: Events

If you've still got some piss and vinegar in you this November, strap a sleeping bag and some PB&J sandwiches to your chopper and haul ass to Niland, California, by the Salton Sea for one last SoCal blowout before the holiday season. The Slab City Riot will be a beer-fueled freakout hellride into oblivion and beyond.

WHERE: Niland, CA, on the Salton Sea. Niland is on the southeast coast of the Salton Sea, approximately 4 hours east of San Diego and 5 hours southeast of LA and OC counties.

WHEN: Noon, Saturday November 14 'till sunrise Sunday, November 15

WHAT: 5 kegs, 3 bands, free camping (donations to locals for dirt napping is encouraged)

DETAILS:

There are two restaurants within 4 miles of Slab City in Niland, and one of them is shit. The next legitimate food stop is Brawley, CA. Our suggestion: bring tortillas, Goober and beef jerky and plan to stay hydrated with beer. If you want water, bring that, too. This place is REMOTE.

BANDS:

The Hudson Drags

Compton SF

Get Dead

Damn I want to go on this so badly. I want to meet the Saltan Sea Balloon castaway captain.

Scott, you should make the trip if at all possible. It's worth it just to meet Paul the Salvation Mtn dude before he gets too old and dies. Really neat dude, doing it his way even if that way is so obviously insane. Plus, it'd be fun to ride and hangout anyway...

Scott: come to SoCal Oct 12, ride my CB450 w/ Bill and posse; I'll drive the chase truck. Stay at my place Thursday the 12th and Friday the 13th. We'll chill, bro down, chop and bob, you name it. DO IT!

Calling it remote is a bit of an understatment. I was lucky enough to spend 4 months a few miles away from slab city. Make sure you make time to visit salvation mountain..
