While we ostensibly went to Indian Wells the other weekend to watch tennis, Me being Me and Brendan being Brendan, we usually tack on a side excursion. In this instance the weekend coincided with the beginning of the 2019 Super Bloom. I had also always wanted to see the Salton Sea. We combined the two, resulting a day of sights and experiences that rendered the expression “living desert” a vast understatement.
