Hockey Road Trip, Fall 2004

Week One - Southwest Sat, 10/16 - Fri, 10/22

Saturday, 12/18

Drove from Fresno, CA back to Bakersfield, CA.  Visited the Kern County Museum and will attend a Condors game this evening. The drive was fog, fog, fog, and more fog.  Visibility was .1 (in some places .05) miles.  To look at the bright side, as I always like to do, at least it wasn't snowing or raining. Here's one thing I always wondered ....  Why don't ALL drivers put their headlights on when there's fog?

Week Two - Texas Sat, 10/23 - Fri, 10/29

Week Three - Southeast Sat, 10/30 - Fri, 11/5

Week Four - Southeast Sat, 11/6 - Fri, 11/12

I'm convinced it is a beautiful countryside in these parts.  I saw glimpses (is that a word?) of farms, freight trains, cattle, vineyards.  I'm sure it's a beautiful area.  I'll make a note to come back some time when there's no fog.

Week Five - Mid Atlantic 11/13 - Fri, 11/19

The Kern County Museum is a historical 'village' dating from the late 1800's/early 1900's.  It contains 40 or 50 buildings to visit, as well as a 'Black Gold' Museum.  It was decorated well for the Holiday Season.

Most of the Kern County Museum was outside.  You strolled down these dirt paths and visited the restored houses/buildings along the way.

Here's a Victorian home I got to tour and visit.  Turned out to be quite a nice day after the fog lifted.

Here's an old oil drill.  There was a musuem on oil drilling in California.  It contained a movie, a simulated ride, and exhibits.  I didn't go on the ride. Turns out today was a special day at the museum.  Cookies with Santa.  Lots of kids around.  A very nice place to take them for the afternoon.  Lots of open spaces to run around.
