Participants: KB3 (Ken) and SWMBO(Gayle) along with KBMWRS(Mike) and SWMBO(Joann)
Equipment: KB3 - Ford F-350 and Alpine 3650RL
KBMWRS - Ford F-250 and Airstream International 25’
Day 1: This is the meet up day. Met up with Ken and Gayle Beard at Red Barn east of Bakersfield, CA. Ken decided to bring an apartment building. Oh okay it’s a trailer…a big one. Got on the road right away heading to Tehachapi, CA. There we stopped at Khonen’s German bakery. A great deli and bakery. After lunch it was off to Calico Ghost Town in the hills just above Yermo, CA. This was a silver mining town in the later 1800s. Now a county park and camp. So after we set the trailers it was off to tour the town. So now its more of take your kids to see a semi-original silver town but still interesting. We toured an old mine shaft also…walking…all rock walls. Life was hard back in those days.
