Volcanoes? In the Imperial Valley? At the south end of the Salton Sea, southwest of Mullet Island, are five small volcanic domes. They are oriented along a northeast trend, or perpendicular to the trace of the San Andreas fault system. The domes rise 100 to 150 feet above the valley floor, and collectively are known as Obsidian Butte. They are extruded into the Quaternary alluvium and are thought to be fewer than 20,000 years old.

Years ago I read that there were boiling mud pots, similar to those in Yellowstone Park, that were covered when the Salton Sea was formed by the break through of the Colorado River back in the early 1900s.

When I was a kid....my dad and I fished out of RedHill Marina....I've walked all over Mullet Island.

Before I ever set foot on that island...supposedly there was a dancehall / bar there...Who knows what else?

I remember the old wooden pilings...that supposedly supported a bridge going over to the island...from the mainland. My dad got our boat stuck on a submerged piling...had a heck of a time getting off. Ha!!

Caught lot's of Corvina..and Sargo out of that strange lake. Lot's of memories.
