Landers

Landers is an unincorporated community in San Bernardino County, California. The town lies in the Homestead Valley of the Mojave Desert, northeast of Flamingo Heights. The closest larger towns are Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree. The town has its own small airport, Landers Airport. Landers also has its own Post Office at Landers Lane and Reche Road: 92285. A Loyal Order of Moose lodge, convenience store, realty office, chamber of commerce, elementary school, and community center are also located in the mostly residential area. The population is 10,000, or so the sign on the Landers Post Office says. Landers's elevation is 3,100' above sea level. Adjacent to Landers is Giant Rock, purported to be the largest free standing boulder in the world. In the 1950s through the 1970s, it was a popular gathering point for UFO believers. UFO contactee George Van Tassel built his Integratron in the Giant Rock area. The area was also the epicenter of the Landers Earthquake, a magnitude 7.3 earthquake on June 28, 1992 which caused considerable structural damage to the surrounding area, and one death, that of a three-year-old child. The image shown most frequently on the news was the complete collapse of the northern wall of the Yucca Lanes Bowling Center. It was later revealed that this wall was in fact a temporary one designed for easy removal should the building be expanded at a future date. Yucca Valley lies 14 miles South of Landers.
