I've noticed that many people in Ridgecrest seem to spend an awful lot of time talking about Trona. It's usually not very nice and lots of inaccurate assumptions are made. To be honest I find most of Inyokern and the area around Monroe MS much less desirable than Trona. Of course Trona does have areas which are particularly run down, but no worse than Red Mountain, Johannesburg, and Randsburgh. Some of the towns near Bakersfield are in bad shape and even Kennedy Meadows has some pretty poorly maintained dwellings. Oh yes, I should not leave out Keeler, Darwin, Olancha, and Pearsonville, just to name a few more.
