In a nutshell
Arrogant snoots hate it, but I loved it.
1 Review Self-proclaimed as "California's best kept secret" the Kern River Valley is about as close to West Virginia as you're likely to find on the West Coast. Not only is this a beautiful wilderness with fishing, hiking, camping and other activities, but the towns around Lake Isabella are dirty little...
1 Review If you're in to roller coaster rides, cotton candy, and lots of good fun, go to Magic Mountain! This place is home of Looney Toons characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird, Tazmanian Devil, and such! If you have kids over 3 years old, this is a good place for them too because there's...
1 Review This is a great place to visit and to bring the family and friends to enjoy the day and the park has to offer and wonderfully displayed art exhibits. Also on site it the Lori Brock Childrens Discovery Center for the great and small to enjoy!
1 Review During a ride though the central valley on the Greyhound bus, we stopped for about 30 minutes during mid-afternoon. The city center high rise buildings are below 10 stories. I was able to see the historic old Fox Theater, the 9 story Padre Hotel, the Bakersfield Museum of Art, and the a nightlife...
1 Review Bakersfield is in the southern end of the lush, green farmland of the San Joaquin Valley. This fertile region stretches from Sacramento to a few miles south of Bakersfield, and is a major region for the production of vegetables, cotton, grapes & wine, and oil. The area relies heavily on water from...
1 Review California Historical Marker NO. 382 COLONEL THOMAS BAKER MEMORIAL - The plaque reads: In 1863 Colonel Baker, friend to all travelers, came here to found 'Bakers Field.' His motto was, 'Time will justify a man who means to do right.' This civic center is his dream come true.
1 Review This wonderful memorial is dedicated to the men and women who served their country during the Korean War. The pedestals are 10 feet long and are beautifully etched that contain a map of Korea, and the names and photos of fallen soldiers. The memorial was paid by donations from the community. It is...
1 Review This is my favorite place to see a movie, because it is always clean and the upkeep is wonderful. They keep the snackbar open and they are fast and efficent. They have 14 theatres in all, so plenty of entertainment going on here. I like coming here because there are restaurants nearby to enjoy and...
1 Review This memorial is inscribed with: ~The Psalm of David reads~ “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil….” It is in that valley the police officer commits his life to defend us daily. When the shadow of death descends upon them and takes them from us, hold...

Yaqui Says: This RV park is hidden within a real live orange grove.. We like to make visits to the California Fruit Depot since it is right next door. What a unique park and it is located outside the hustle and bustle of Bakersfield. It has a country store/lodge, pool, excercise room,...

Yaqui Says: When you are in the old downtown area, just keep in mind that there are a couple of homeless shelters in that area, so at times you will be approached by those in need. So keep some spare change handy, if you want too.;-)

Water Wheel in Hart Park~Crashed to ground:(
Yaqui Says: This very rustic water wheel was built in 1933 to mimic a 1700 Italian design. This wooden water wheel had 5ft tall paddles that powered a water pump that supplied water to Hart Pool. It was one of the crown jewels of the park. It was knocked off its foundation in 1937 from...

Oil, Agriculture, and Buck Owens
On the drive on Hwy 58 from Needles, we were surprised by the number of wells still active within the city limits. Some go slower than others, and many appear stopped and need of repair to start them...
