Nearly three years after the United States pulled out of Afghanistan, more than 150 refugees fleeing Taliban rule have found homes in California's Mojave Desert.
Mojave makes a lot of sense for refugees, since California is an expensive place to live. About 30 Afghan families call the Santiago Estates of Mojave, a mobile home park, home.
Mojave's remote location presents some challenges for refugees, chiefly, a lack of public transportation and job development programs make it hard to get far.
The Boise Fire burning in Humboldt and Siskiyou Counties has charred more than 9600 acres, according to fire officials. There's still no containment as of Thursday morning.
