Interesting history Kat.

This was nice. I kept waiting for woke shit that never came.

That's really cool, Kat. I lived for a time in a "living ghost town" called Randsburg. It's in Kern County off 395. It looks in many places like Bodie, except people still live there.

The city formed around the Yellow Aster gold mine in the late 1800s, and the neighboring city of Johannesburg was established to handle later growth. Randsburg usually has about 125 still living there, but there were about 400 when I lived there with my family decades ago. It's an interesting mix of dilapidated structures, very old desert houses and city buildings, and restored buildings, like the general store and a few saloons. My grandfather at one time ran the Randsburg museum, which gives a bit of the city's history of mining and prospecting.

Ya gotta love the Clampers, helping preserve the memory of California's history.

Yes, everything changes.

Not sure why I just slogged through all of that, but ok.
