Ever since I saw the movie Into the Wild, I was fascinated by Slab City. It sounded like this creative, hippiesque and slightly crazy place in the middle of the Californian desert: ultimate freedom, the chance to be yourself. I mean, I didn’t really know anything about it besides these movie scenes, but for some reason, it drew me in. So when we started traveling through California in March 2018, I knew I had to go see the place. | Ever since I saw the movie Into the Wild, I was fascinated by Slab City.

Slab City, often referred to as 'The Last Free Place,' is an unincorporated, off-the-grid community located in the Sonoran Desert in California. It is situated on the site of a former World War II Marine Corps barracks, and its name comes from the concrete slabs that remain from the abandoned base. The area is known for its eclectic mix of residents, including artists, snowbirds, and those seeking an alternative lifestyle. Slab City is famous for its vibrant art installations, such as Salvation Mountain, a colorful hillside tribute to faith and love. The community operates without formal infrastructure, relying on solar power and communal resources. | |||
