“Mud Pots”, Niland, CA
Another incredibly cool thing we found the other day down here in the desert…When we got out of the car, we could immediately hear these things gurgling. Some of the bigger ones did some hissing, too. So weird!!

“Mud Pots near the town of Calipatria. The mud pots are formed in geothermal areas where there is water pushing the ash or mud up to the surface forming mini volcanoes. This is a virtually undiscovered area where one can get up close and personal as the mud pots burp, gargle and croak without a sign to mark their presence and without a fence to protect them.
This area is on the St Andreas fault and there are power generating stations in the area using geothermal techniques to generate electrical power."

Love this cool image and place, Laurie. This place sound right up my alley. I studied geology and LOVE hissing and gurgling pools and other geothermal events. Also being on the SA fault I would be waiting for the earth to move...I know I'm weird, even my husband thinks I'm a little odd but I love stuff like this.
