Kifflom, Brother - Found this in a liquor/meth store out there. Ron's Alternates - 2 photos only cause it's just windmills. Stray things Stab City/Slab City IRL - Not as exciting as the game one. It was freeeeezzzzzzing at the top, frickin blizzard. There was a storm the entire time I was there so I couldn't take the most informative of mountain pictures. Or it could be the tram station from before the renovation. Unfortunately the tram station looks nothing like the in-game one so there could be another location that R* is taking inspiration from. The second possible mountain is the peak of the San Jacinto mountains because it has an Aerial Tramway. And apparently there is a trail called the 'Bradshaw Trail' which makes me think of Braddock's Pass on Chiliad.

There's probably others, but that's just what I saw. That's the towns of North Shore, Bombay Beach, Salton City and some other town that I didn't see the name for. Sandy Shores Sandy shores is an amalgamation of several real life areas in Palm Springs. The dead trees that I saw last time I went there are now painted over completely. Hippy Art Camp IRL the hippy art camp is based off of Salvation Mountain. In real life each of these things are very far from one another but it's cool to see how they took all these elements and made their own thing out of them. In GTAV the area of Blaine County is a very condensed version of the towns/villages that pepper the Salton Sea area. I basically just drove through the area till I saw something familiar. I thought it was kind of fun and interesting and thought you might like to see the real-life inspiration for a couple of these lesser-known locations. In GTAV the area of Blaine County is a very condensed version of the towns/villages that pepper the Salton Sea area.
