Camp Dunlap
The US Marine Corps settled down in the California Imperial Valle desert, which spanned 630 acres of land, during WWII. They called it Camp Dunlap. During the ‘50s, it was permanently closed. People started to go to this area and set up their “homes” there. It even earned a new name, “Slab City”. After all, people liked to set up on concrete slabs!

Wünsdorf
Here is a swimming pool that used to be a part of a base. It has been drained and abandoned together with the rest of the area. The military camp pictured below was Wünsdorf, which was said to be the biggest military base the Soviets had outside of Russia. It looks pretty bleak in the photo, doesn’t it?
