In the early seventies, while working at the rocket test lab at Edwards AFB, I stayed for six weeks in Boron,CA. Terminal boredom, good thing I was drinking a lot back then. I was replacing a guy that was fired and had to stay until a replacement was hired. Was never so glad to get home.
I've spent a lot of time in Ridgecrest working projects out of China Lake and never felt a need to drive down to Boron.
I actually like Ridgecrest.
actually i have a relative currently stationed at edwards. Boron is right next door, and has one of the best mexican restaurants you would ever want to step foot in. The walls are covered with pictures of astronauts and other famous people that flew into edwards and had dinner there. Great place. You big city boys are funny.
I guess I'm a big city boy now, my 900 population "city" just added 70 new homes last year. You should have seen Boron in 1971.
