Desert Meditation

A Mystical Path

The Rand

Drive a short way east and southeast to the Rand Mining District.
Morning in Randsburg. This is a living ghost town, another town too tough to die. Already it is getting warm. Instead of drinking a canned soft drink, go to the general store across Butte Avenue and have an ice cream soda at the marble-topped fountain. More rustic scenes
Next, take Highway 395 north, go through Ridgecrest. On the Naval Reservation at China Lake, you can take occasional escorted tours to the Coso Mountain canyons to see ancient petroglyphs. Some of these may be more than 1,500 years old.
