Article and Photography by Natasha Petrosova Today , Randsburg is a living Ghost Town where people are nice and antiques are cheap.  It accounts for about 200 Residents.  Near by towns Johannesburg and Red Mountain also have full-time residents, 50 and 100 respectively.  The whole area really comes to live once a year on the  third Saturday of September when Ransburg holds its annual "Old West Days" event. Hundreds of people attend the event each year and this sleepy town in Mojave desert comes to live  full of fun and enjoyment .   It was our second time visiting Randsburg.  The first time we came here about a week prior to the event.  We walked empty  streets , took pictures and did not meet any residents.  Businesses were close and it seemed that the town was deserted.  This time , we came back for an event.  The town was full of people and businesses were open.    We enjoyed live music , classic car shows , watching square dancers and last but not least  old west gun show
