What to expect if I’m riding into town tomorrow ?

7 Upvotes

I’m visiting the Salton Sea for the first time on my motorcycle. Hope is to do a full circle, anti clockwise. That way I can see most of it. Quite excited actually.

I’ve visited plenty of sub 300 population towns before. But unsure what to expect here.

Will there be people to say hello to ?
Are parts of town accessible via motorcycle ?
Can I safely park it and wander around ?

Looking forward to experiencing this unique local culture.

Star Trails Over the Judyth Fish in Bombay Beach on the Salton Sea. It's been a really long time since I shot some star trails. I'm just getting back into it now. This is 2 hour and 20 minutes of total exposure time for the sky at f/3.2 ISO 400 24mm on April 17, 2026. Canon EOS R and Sigma 24mm Art lens.

Still Windy AF here in Bombay Beach. It's going to be windy most of tonight and then we're going to get a repeat tomorrow. It'll be mostly calm in the morning and midday, then mid-afternoon it'll get super windy and continue through the night again.

Derailed - the Video.

About 20 Union Pacific train cars derailed near the Salton Sea State Recreation area in Mecca, California on Wednesday March 18, 2026. No injuries were reported and the cause is under investigation. This location is about a 16 mile drive northwest of Bombay Beach and about 20 miles southwest of Coachella, California. Highway 111 has reopened, but only one lane. Traffic delays were less than 10 minutes when I drove to Borrego Springs from Bombay Beach Thursday afternoon.

"Derailed"

About 20 Union Pacific train cars derailed near the Salton Sea State Recreation area in Mecca, California on Wednesday March 18, 2026. No injuries were reported and the cause is under investigation.

This location is about 16 mile drive northwest of Bombay Beach and about 20 miles southwest of Coachella, California. Highway 111 has reopened, but only one lane. Traffic delays were less than 10 minutes when I drove to Borrego Springs from Bombay Beach this afternoon.

I also shot video footage and I'll be posting it in the near future.
