El Centro

ChuckCobleigh · June 16, 2006, 10:48pm

I suspect it is Calipatria, or (less likely) just north of Brawley.

Searles “Branch” north of Mojave? Looks like what I remember.

Chuck got it, sort of. It’s Brawley on the El Centro Branch. Good job.

Grew up in country west of El Centro. Tried to avoid Brawley then. Now try to avoid El Centro as well, except for Camacho’s Place out in the weeds SW of town.

The tipoff was the ridge line of the mountains east of the Salton Sea.
