That’s Italian Restaurant Romeo and Anna: Old Town Charm
Yaqui Says: This one of those wonderful little restaurants that has stayed in business for many years due to the good food and the home town charm. Yet there seems to be some disparity with how the owner may reacted to their customers. I hope it is not so.This sign on the front says...
Ewings: Great view, terrible food
sciteach Says: The view from the restaurant is beautiful, but the food was awful. My "garlic mashed potatoes" were made from a powdered mix and the lettuce in the salad was spoiled. I would suggest eating at "That's Italian" instead. A waste of $40!

Yubert Says: Live singing and guitar music along the Kern River.It's live music and it was free. Wear something warm and cover your skin to protect against mosquitoes.
Drinking along the Kern River.
Yubert Says: Drinking along the Kern River.Most restaurants in Kernville close after 9pm so drinking is cheap and easy to do. Anything goes.

On organized trips like this,...
Yubert Says: On organized trips like this, everyone should pitch in to help like Caroline is doing. My job as unofficial photographer prevented me from lending her a helping hand.
Yubert Says: It's always polite to help your river guides clean and dry out the rafts and accessories.Unfortunately I was too busy taking pictures so I couldn't lend a helping hand.

Our rafting guides Kathy and Jeff, explaining the proper way to put on a lfe vest as well as what to do if you fall into the river.
If you fall in, try to roll into the river, keeping your arms tucked in and float down the river on you back, legs facing forward
Don't try to stand in the river because your leg(s) might get stuck in the rocks and the water current might pull you under.

This is a trap of a different kind. This picture shows the bottom of the raft I used which frequently got stuck on the rocks in the river.
Well one of the bottom seams on the floor came apart, causing the floor to be lower than normal, which would explain why this raft was trapped on the rocks more often than other rafts.

Yubert Says: It's a good idea to wear a bathing suit or T-shirt underneath your wetsuit. That way, if it gets too hot in your wetsuit, you can peel down the top half without violating any indecency laws.
Yubert Says: The water in the Kern River is cold so it's a good idea to wear a wet suit like Caroline is wearing. And for safety, one should wear a helmet and a floatation (life) jacket in case you fall into the river.Also note that Caroline is wearing river shorts over her wetsuit. It...

Ups and downs are more than just in the river.
The town of Kernville is ideally situated on the Kern river, midway between some of the finest river rafting stretches in California, and about 3 hours from LA. This near-monopoly has led to...
