FW: FW: [RC] Bakersfield, CA - Mike SherrellThe air can be horrible, certainly. However for trees ... I have ridden among cherry, peach, apricot, plum, walnut and almond trees, and eaten the ripe fruits and napped in the shade thereof. For scenery, there is waving wheat, red tomatos, melons, enough square miles of alfalfa and huge rectangular stacks of baled fodder to boggle even Huginn, canals, rivers and wetlands with flocks of birds and schools of carp and even salmon, and half-forgotten hamlets, hidden migrant encampments, little memorial shrines and unexpected encounters with every type of human.

No thanks, give me single track, climbing trails any day. Love them!! ~:0] I spent about a month down in Bakersfield, met some wonderful nice folks down there, but there is no way that I could live there. Way too much dirty air. When riding the trails, I was bored to death...flat, flatter and flattest. And no trees. Poor Huginn kept looking for tress and green grass. HAHA! Yes, it was hot, but dry, so it helps. Out in the sun it was bad, but in the shade, not so much. We really liked the Tehachapi and Bear Valley Springs area, and yes....even Caliente . HA! But boy...the drive off Hwy 58 was a killer, long, windy, and having to dodge cattle the whole way. One day we hope to live out there.
