Allow me to introduce the new owners of the Historic Owl Café, Danny and his wife, Arlene. Along US 395, just south of Ridgecrest, is the Rand Mining District, responsible for historic mines of silver, gold, and tungsten ores. Three towns: Johannesburg, Randsburg and Red Mountain make up this area. Ghost towns that are not quite dead yet! The Owl Café is in what was the thriving town of Red Mountain.
A step into the owl Café is a step back in time. You are greeted by Owner Danny, dressed in period costume. The Café is now a museum, store and source of a cold beverage and snacks. His friendly demeanor and wealth of historical information is impressive. Their website, RedMtnKellySilver.com has more information.
Plan a stop the next time you plan to travel along the US 395 or plan the Rand Mining District and the Owl Café as trip unto itself.

No one can make you angry. You allow yourself to become angry. God says it is okay to get angry – for good cause – but not to let it lead to sin. I feel anger is a self destructive behavior. Only you can control your behavior.
Let us use this USA birthday season to positively influence others to be calm and happy. Happy birthday to the USA and may your holiday week be blessed.

Emotions run high on either end of the spectrum in regards to this and other nuclear programs. The long term effects are not forgotten as we strolled in this community last month and stopped to view this monitoring station,
