Randsburg
'A Living Ghost Town'
1920's picture of Randsburg
Randsburg is a 'living' ghost town located in the Mojave Desrt in California.
This is a very interesting place for photographers. There are many abondoned mines and very old buildings in the City. If you want to get some authentic pictures of the 'Old West', this is a great place to stop at when traveling up Highway 395. Some of the great old buildings include a Church, Post Office, Opera House and a Jail. There are also store fronts and hotels. There are no stop lights, malls, gas stations or the like in Randsburg, but there are places to stay, eat and drink. I highly recommend that you stop here on your way up the 395, it is only a couple miles off of the main Highway and easy to get to.
How to get there:
From Los Angeles - 5N, 14NE, pass town of Mojave & approx.20 mi. Turn right on Redrock Randsburg Rd, veer right at Y & continue up over the hills to Randburg.
