Spock's Place, Randsburg, CA 9-15
(1 in a multiple picture album)
I got a kick out of the sign over the service station. Back in the old days when tires had tubes they would have to remove the tire, take out the tube and put a glued patch on it. That was called vulcanizing. Somehow, when I saw this sign I thought of the Vulcan Spock on Star Trek.
Though the mining stopped long ago, Randsburg is not a full on ghost town. A few people live there and they have kept the buildings in good repair and most have some sort of business going on.
