Mojave was the closest town to go for shopping from Ridgecrest in the 40's. Many people from Ridgecrest made the 45 mile trip to Mojave on a weekly basis. It had doctors and dentists and all of the necessary stores for people to purchase the items needed to subsist. There was a fair sized railroad station there for shipping and passenger service. There was also Greyhound bus service there from LA to Bakersfield and all points on the compass. The Marines had a Marine Corps Air Facility here for training purposes in the 40's through the early 50's.. For more on the history of Mojave go Here and a light photo tour Here.
