Randsburg is an over 100 year old western mining town in the Mojave Desert about a 2.5 hour drive from Los Angeles. There is still an active mine there and the town has been used in a number of movies including the cult classic Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town - Yes, that is Randsburg RA Dinged Up Dick as the Zombie pushing the lawn mower in the trailer. Come early to check out the town, antique shops, or have a Mojave Red on tap at the White House Saloon and Floozy House - Jim has great chili to go with the beer. And before you leave town, ya just gotta have a Black Bart - the best banana split you have ever had - at the General Store.

The hash starts promptly in front of the Saloon after the group photo. Trail is generally 4-5 miles with a Zombie check. Every so many years, the Zombie check will be at a mine shaft with a skeleton in it. Dont ask what is in a Zombie drink, just hope you make it back to the saloon alive for down downs after you drink it.

All previously named hashers are eligable to be Grand Masters of the Randsburg hash if found acceptable during down downs after the run in the White House Saloon. The title of Grand Master of the Randsburg Hash is not given lightly, you must show up alive after the hash and be voted into the sacred order. GM name tags can be ordered from GM Asscrackistan for $10 including mailing - email her: judy at sweetingville. com

Directions:
Try to leave LA about 7AM or if in Lone Pine for WWW, about 8 AM so to have time to cruise the town and check out the Antique stores. Map.

From LA, take the 14 towards Palmdale off the 5 in the north San Fernando Valley. Mojave is a good place to gas up if you forgot. When you pass the California City turn off on the 14 start looking for the Randsburg / Redrock Rd near Cantil on your right (about 10 miles) - if you are in Red Rock Canyon you went too far. Go toward Garlock about 10 miles and watch for the turn to the right across the railroad tracks just before Garlock. Turn right and go about 9 miles to Randsburg. Bare to the right on Butte Ave and the White House Saloon and Floozy House is less than 100 yards and across from the General Store.

From OC, take the 55 or 57 to the 91 east to the 15 like you were going to Vegas. Just after Cajon Pass get on hwy. 395. Look for the Randsburg turn off on the left,1/2 mile past Johannesburg. Bare left 100 yards after the jail.

From Lone Pine, leave no later than 8 AM for the 1.5 hr drive south on hwy 395. At China Lake, make sure you take the left turn to stay on 395 and not 14. Start watching for the Randsburg turn off on your left a few miles past the Garlock turn off.

Most hashers are day trippers or come down the day after the Wild Wild West event in Lone Pine. But there are a few rooms available at the Randsburg Inn - 760-374-2332 or 2143.
