There's sa small town up in the desert named "Randbsburg," which is billed as a functioning ghost town. It's between China Lake (Ridgecrest) and Mojave, and about 2 hours north of Los Angeles. Just go to the 3,923rd Yucca Tree and hang a right. There are still silver mines in the area. I remember sitting in a car on a ridge overlooking the town, and waiting for the stagecoach to come meandering into town. Makes you remember how tough life was for the early settlers of the state. -- Gene Saunders | Gene.Saunders@Sun.COM | Save a tree; use AnswerBook.
