"North Edwards" North Edwards by Yaqui

North Edwards Travel Guide: 2 reviews and 7 photos

Formerly known and Edgemont Acres or North Muroc, (still researching that fact) It is a little community just outside of Edwards AFB, and between California City to the west and Boron to the East just off of Hwy 58. I surmise like many communities in this area, began as little settlements due to the railroad, mines, and the base. They tend to call these areas bedroom communities, but I do not like that term.

These communities are still places where blue collar people call this their home and are very proud of where they live. Although, it may not be much to many who pass by, but many people settle here due to the stark desert beauty that surrounds them and they love being part of a nice quiet safe community.

Update: Sadly the firebugs cound not resist and this wonderful piece of art is gone. The owner tried to keep the place secured, but the firebugs won.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Has charm!
Cons:No services, not till you get to Mojave!

I tell a great deal about you from this introduction, Dee...caring, kind, empathetic, to name a few. Loved information about the abandoned bar and the wonderful mural. This is what what travel is about..discovery and memories.

Did you know some of the Spacshuttle debris landed in Western Australia. It was a huge story when it occurred.
