Carlton's Log: sick day





Photos from a trip through Randsburg, CA, "the living Ghost Town". Located in the hills south of Ridgecrest (yeah, that name doesn't conjure up any mental logistics either...) Randsburg is a desolate community of rambling hills, vacant shafts, and lots of character. Thor and I travel through Randsburg at least once a month on our way to Bishop for work meetings. A couple of trips back we stopped long enough to get a few photos.

I'll post more info in the coming days. Today my head is exploding and I have a deep sexy(?) voice from the lovely viral nasty that has moved in and is residing there. ugh.

Love these photos. When the TVA put in their dam they ended up flooding a few small towns like this. Every once in awhile I think about those towns, just as empty as this one.

Thanks all. I went to the funeral than came home and died myself. ugh.

Rynell, thanks on both counts...I'm staying in and taking it easy.

Lisa, thanks -you too.

Adan, this is a very interesting blip on the map. 3 TINY towns, this one set off the main highway on a loop. But all three combined maybe 250 people? I can't imagine living way and the hooey out there. Definately characters.
