I'm thinking of Gormin, CA and not the Gormin off of the 5 freeway as that Gormin has five gas stations and two fast food joints so it is a world of improvement over the Gormin which I am speaking about. No, the Gormin I'm speaking about is deep in the desert on the far side of Fort Irwin and the whole town is literally a **** hole. This Gormin was originally a 19th century train stop town which never got connected to the freeway system and so spent the next century decaying, festering, and filling with some of the most mentally ill, ****ed up looking, inbreed pieces of poor white trash you can imagine. The place is so bad the illegal aliens don't even bother going there.
In the 1960's the county tried to build employment by putting a sewage processing plant for Fort Irwin there and to this day that is the only employer in town. There is one gas station in town but it was out of gas when we went there and there is one bar which has a half dozen elderly men in it all of whom are missing most of their teeth and who stink like ****! The rest of the town consisted of old boarded up homes which looked like they were builtin 1900 and then never painted again. Truly it was the worst hole I've ever been in and remember that I've been to numerous 3rd world countries and two war zones.

I'm thinking of driving there just to check this place out! How far of a drive from San Diego?
