Randsburg



After spending Thanksgiving Day with Jeff's family, we withheld tradition and did a desert trip. We met up with the Coorey's (Pete, Jennifer, Amanda & Jessica) - and headed out to a location that we had never been before.

Close to the camp location (10 miles or so) is an old mining town called Randsburg - a living ghost town on the Western end of the Mojave desert. Jennifer, the twins, Ryan and I drove into town - and Pete, Jeff and Dylan rode their motorcycles in. The town caters to the off-road crowd. There are more bikes than there are cars. We had lunch, then did a little sight seeing.

The weather ended up getting pretty chilly -there was even snow on the local foothills - so we went home a day early. There's no use spending a night in the desert FREEZING - when you can just pack it all up and drive home!
