I live in Ridgecrest which is just next to Trona. I was in the middle of the earthquake. It was something else. I got to respect the Trona Tornado football team. Sometimes their budget cannot even buy descent equipment.

I played and lived there in the late 60s and early 70s I have great memories of Trona I often about the amazing friends and teammates I left behind

cause the town cant afford the water to grow grass...

[@coleparker]

grass cannot grow their because of the soil conditions.

They need field turf

Real grass can’t grow. There is too much salt in the soil. As for astroturf, I am fairly certain any reflected heat from windows or anything else would melt it. Also, the entire town wants to keep the dirt football field.
