Aloha Sven,just had to get my 2 cents worth in!A fisherman that I talked to who was just to Salton Sea said the North Shore Yacht club WAS still there!So you were right about that.He said everything was boarded up even the motel nearby.I also was searching the web and saw a more recent pic than mine(that I used for the painting I did)and some of the signs were gone and also the metal designs protruding from the "portholes".Someone told me even the stairways were stolen.Unbelievable!
Anyway,it was funny about the Salton Tiki.We thought that tiki was soo cool.Now there are so many talented carvers who blow that tiki away.(Even so,would've been cool to have it!)The food was lousy.Wish I had taken more pictures.Inside they had a small mural of a hula girl and some masks on the wall.
I'll give you a deal you can afford(and maybe I'll throw in a Salton Tiki coaster!).
Me and the fam. have to get our butts down to Salton Sea and check it out.Too bad we didn't snag the large yacht club doormat when we had the chance.We were too honest...then!Some lucky sucker got it.
(BTW,it was UCLA,not USLA!)
