Hey folks,
I'm gonna be hitting Oakland in a week or so and I'm planning on riding to slab city from there. Just wondering if any of y'all bike nurds, are just sitting around with nothing to do and would like to ride with.
Open invite to all.
I travel alone all the time, so having a...
hey guys. So I'm headed for the slabs this December over Christmas break. I've been doing research and all just trying to prepare the best I can. For all of you that have been there if you have any important things to know or any advice, let me know. This will be my first time heading out west!
On the second morning of the Jambo, Emma Rose came out to my place and we sat down for nearly an hour as I struggled through my immense hangover to tell her some of my story. So here's the resulting article!

I've never been, but I'm hoping to make it in time for the jambo.
I know I'm going to see for myself soon, but can y'all explain what it really is and what it's really like?
is it really a big squat? how does that even work?
As many folks here know, I have been posted up in the squatter town of Slab City for almost three whole years, running and working on the library.
I've been through a lot of fucked up situations. People trying to steal my stuff, trespassing in my home, multiple people threatening to hurt and/or...
I made this profile a year or so ago, and I never actually ended up going anywhere. Now, I'm finally doing it. I've got the opportunity, I'm getting my car fixed up, and its summer.
I'm here in the introduction section in order to hopefully build friendships with other dwellers and people who...

Here are some pics I took during the past few months. Some are around the Salton Sea while others are at the Lizard Tree Library in Slab City. Oh yeah and three photos from LA because I forgot to take many photos while I was there.

A few days ago some friends of mine from Los Angeles came out to visit me in Slab City, so I decided to show them the Slab City golf course. It's been around for quite some time, but it was only recently that I took the time to explore it.
Its a completely legitimate golf course and the person...
What is the best way for someone without a car to get from Los Angeles to Slab City? Without a good sized city nearby it looks like it could be tough. Would it be best to head out straight from LA towards Joshua Tree? Or is it better to go to San Diego and hang a left? Seems like San Diego might...
So while I'm here charging my phone at the internet cafe, I might as well introduce myself. I'm brandon. I've been on the site for a few years but never got around to making an account until late recently. I just got into the slabs yesterday, so if anyone is around we could chill. I've been a...
Can someone explain what Slab City is all about? It seems like millennials saying "I'm going to Slabs" is becoming the equivalent of Boomers saying "I was at Woodstock."
Hey, I'm not sure if anyone in slab city (@Matt Derrick?) has ran into a tall, bearded white dude around 30 yo wearing black high-top converse...?
I met him in the slabs last week where he got bit by a dog on his leg. I want to make sure it's not infected.
He's camped to the right of the...
My dog and I have done about 20k miles accross Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and southern California in the past 3-4 months. We are taveling in a modified 4 runner with the back seats un hindged for car camping and city camping. We are currently in Santa Monica for a few days or maybe until just...
So I set out one day to try and do a time lapse video of the Slab City library, but unfortunately I set the angle far too wide, so it wasn't quite what I was going for. Rather than delete it though, I figured I'd go ahead and share it here for anyone that's interested.
