Mojave
Is a creepy little town and especially at night. This town is located in Kern County and surrounded by Rosamond and Tehachapi. Mojave is pretty dark at night with plenty of cops around pulling people over and arresting them. Seems like every time I drive through this small town I see someone getting arrested. But really though, this town is scary at night. Gives me the chills when thinking about it. A Joshua tree just sitting there in the dark, an eerie piece of work if you ask me. A cactus tree, that is brown, but only a figure in the dark. In 2000 the population was 3,836 which seems like a lot to me considering what a small town it seems to me. I would have only thought the number to be in the 100’s. This town in my eyes is ghetto, and not that I feel better or higher then people but sometime I look down on people who live there. I’m like Mojave? You really live there? Why? There is nothing out there. But then again kinda near Mojave is Edwards Air Force base so I’m sure a lot of military families live there for their time being stationed at Edwards AFB. Being a military brat myself I think it would be pretty depressing to be stationed at Edwards AFB and living in Mojave. There is nothing to do, its a dank little town, with quite the distance to the base or anything of real civilization, but thats just my opinion. Well thanks for reading my rant, and Mojave….. I’ll see you again on Tuesday.
