Nice condition. I'm not a g50 guy but thought y'all would like this. Here for the week from Boston and seeing some pretty cool stuff. See if any locals can guess where I was...

I'll post some other pictures of it; CRAZY place....

Somewhere warmer than Boston!

29 palms?

It looks like maybe a day trip to the beautiful Salton Sea (close to 29 Palms). Are you in Palm Springs soaking up the sun?

My guess are :

-29 Palms (pre deployment training sucks there lol!)
-Yuma, Az
-Scrap City
- El Centro
-Modesto
-calexuco
- and lastly.... Well Mexico lol

The fish is a mozambique tilapia which is an invasive species that was brought over from south africa. They thrive in water with high salinity. They introduced them to the area YEARS ago for livestock purposes. Has to be near the salton sea. Great area!

Damn dude, very good detective skills. I knew thought to use the fish as a clue lol.

Meh, the sign says Coachella valley, the thick layer of salt encrusting the wood posts (evil spirits) , turkey vultures are ALL over that area, also the license plate says California. The fourth picture has entire fish preserved in salt. But yeah, the closeup of the fish was what instantly gave it away for me.

Nicely done gentlemen, it was the Salton Sea. It was pretty wild.
