Trona California is a very unique place.
The smell in the air reminds one of rotten eggs.
Being in the Mojave desert, summertime temperatures often are in excess of 100 degrees.
The dirt is so alkaline that grass does not grow there.
This book answers the question why, with such isolation and desolation, do people choose to live in and visit Trona.
