GIANT SCENIC CLlFFS—Redrock Canyon in the Kern County Desert of South
ern California is a favorite sight-seeing area. Thar’s gold and gems here.
California Sightseers
Mine Their Own Opals
LOS ANGELES.—Just beyond
Butterbread Mountain and Jaw
bone Canyon in Southern Cali
fornia, there’s a little mine for
rent. For a modest hourly fee
you can take pick and shovel
and mine your own opals. Handy
way to get a souvenir of your
trip West this winter.
This is the gem and gold coun- !
try of Eastern Kern County, one
of the favorite sightseeing ad- ;
ventures of winter visitors. It’s
about two hours’ journey north
of Los Angeles, but, according
to the area’s All-Year Club, a
more interesting way is eastward
from the city of Bakersfield over
the Tehachapi Pass.
Going up the Tehachapi. a
train pops out of a tunnel and
starts around Walong Moun
tain. Cars are still worming out
of the hole when. 77 feet directly
above the tunnel, there’s the
locomotive again, poking out
from the backside of the moun
tain. This is Walong Loop, the
only way a train can get up over
the rugg d range, and famous
for the railroaders’ myth that
the engineer always waits for
this spot to reach into the
caboose for his lunch pail.
Mojave is the first town. It
has been a mining center since
the 20-mule teams hauled borax
there from Death Valley in 1883.
This is a land of fantastic
coloring. In the distance are the
Argus Mountains. Jawbone
Canyon just beyond Mojave
leads to a bizarre mass of colors
called the Hill of Blue-Green
Stone. Beyond that is the Snow
white Mountain made of a stuff
called vitro* that goes into
dishes and enamelware.
Giant Reddish Draperies
Towering above the section'
atop of Cinco is the brilliant
mass of Red Hill. Then the high
cliffs of Redrock Canyon seem
to be hanging giant reddish
draperies from the sky.
