: Does anyone know what's going on with Tropico
Mine near Rosamond, California? I cruised by the
town early in the year and the rather extensive
mine ruins were blockaded, with signs suggesting a
movie crew was at work. My only source giving
information about the town is rather dated, and
suggests that the area is open to the public, with
mine tours and the whole deal. Was the land sold
to a private party in recent years?
LAST TIME I WAS THERE THEY WERE AUCTIONING OFF THE WHOLE TOWN RIGHT DOWN TO THE SIDEWALKS. THAT WAS AROUND 1980. BOUGHT SOME STUFF MYSELF. SOME BUILDINGS STILL REMAINED.
