  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.

Slab City is a small anarchic community in the Sonoran desert that attracts people from all walks of life who seek independence.  Situated on the former site of a now dilapidated military base, with no infrastructure, and currently in jurisdictional limbo, many of its permanent and seasonal residents feel tension between authority and a strong desire to express a level of freedom not available in modern society.
