Yup I've got my Tehachapi Family to visit in my next life! What a different lifestyle than NYC…read more Britt definitely didn't like getting around in the city when she came for vacation. I've watched my Tehachapi Family grow by generations. Along with my Sister in Spirit Britt we have been through the death of loved ones, births and without a doubt lots of heath conditions. I hope Britt doesn't mind me saying that I mentored her in her quest to be Elite. I'm so proud of her and I enjoy seeing her attending events! Yes I used to exchange gifts with Britt years ago. She was the only one. She loved my Yelp Swag so I sent her big boxes. Definitely my Tehachapi grandbaby received a gift. The family grew so huge I had to stop! So I'm posting a couple pictures of my favorite gift from Britt. I've placed it where I can see it on my daughter's entry table. I currently use it for quick cash to give my building employees because at this point in time I need a lot of assistance! Always remember I love you and think of you daily my Tehachapi Fam! PS Do your research on the City and surrounding areas history before you visit. At one time there was a woman's prison located here. There's an old 1950's Black and White Movie about the woman's life imprisoned here. I enjoyed it! If I find it I will post a screenshot.

You may wonder "What on earth is she doing in Caliente?" The answer is simple because my sons…read morefamily has lived in Caliente for the last 100 years. Just simple railroad mountain country people. That back in the day Great grandpa worked for the railroad all week and great grandmother was the singer for a band. In fact rumors go she would make more money in one weekend singing the blues away, then Great Grandpa working on the railroad all week long. Not much is around except the Caliente post office, the train that goes on at all hours of the night. Lots of cotton tails running wild with adorable cows all over running free and happy. At night if you are lucky bobcats will come out and skunks too. Lots of bats and many of the locals have goats and chickens. Oh yes, sure! Did I mention horses? Of course the cowboys/girls have horses. Be careful with rattlesnakes in fact that is what stopped me on my on my tracks looking for a 1860's lost abandon cemetery. That in the late 50's grate-grandpa best friend was berried. I want to say that right where grandmothers cabin is located. I found about 10 homes long ago empty. Those homes all have a story that grandmother can tell us as a story, of when she was a little girl. She remembers everyone's names and what became of them. Two of the homes were on one point where in fact aschool site aka Caliente Elementary but a dork set it on fire. In this little mountain ghost town you will find the best pies and cookies. One recipe that grate-grandmother acquired from one of the cook's back in the day "Tehachipi's prison cookies" those are by far the best cookies I have ever had. Only dirt roads and no street lights so naturally any wild animal is around the corner. Bears and mountain lions have been sighted. So if you decide to visit you are in gods good humor. No gas station no McDonald's no starbucks. The closest coffee house is in Keens the other small mountain town down the hill. Otherwise Tehachipi might be your saving grace. If you like alone time and you are wild at heart like I am. The nights you will blessed with the magic of the milky way. The back dirt road leads to Kern River and that is another favorite stop of mine. If you need to get away from the big city you might want explore taking a dirt road with me and I will show you around. Especially if you are into Rail road trains ghost lost forgotten mountain towns. Caliente is a sentimental family ghost town that has many stories of a lady name Susie that used play the organ and sing in a band. In fact she played and partied with Cesar Chaves! Oh yeah! Babe! My sons family really is for real! to be continued

Established in the 1870s, Caliente was originally named Allens Camp for a cattle rancher and…read moresettler named Gabriel Allen. Later, the name Agua Caliente, coming from hot springs in the area, was proposed and may have been used. This name conflicted with the community of the same name in Sonoma County. With the railroad's arrival in 1875, the shortened name Caliente was adopted. Caliente prospered during Southern PacificRailroad's construction of Tehachapi Pass line. For a time, the Telegraph Stage Line and the Cerro Gordo Freighting Co. also ran through Caliente and its full-time population grew to 200. There were approximately 60 buildings, including 20 or more saloons. Today, Caliente has a population of about 1000. I'm not sure why you would visit. There isn't a town to speak of and just one place to grab a bite, but it's a very cool place that makes you think you're a million miles away from la. And if you like urban exploration, there are quite a few abandoned mills, farms and houses all basically along the one road (littered with cows...no really, you most likely WILL encounter MANY cows on and off the main road) that goes through the town.

This is such a peaceful and welcoming National Monument located in Keene, CA, just east of…read moreBakersfield. This National Monument has a visitors center, museum, gift shop, a beautiful walking trail with flowering plants and trees as well as a path with various cacti. In the warmer months it's easy to spot lizards and rabbits, as well as having year-round birds and squirrels. You can learn about civil rights, agricultural labor history, and how Cesar formed a Union that is still in existence today. The Park is located in Kern County (the southernmost county of the California agricultural belt) just 30 minutes east of Bakersfield, in the mountains below Tehachapi. It was the first location of the Union headquarters he formed, the United Farm Workers (UFW). His office has been preserved within the museum exactly how it was the day he passed away. Cesar, and his wife Helen, lived and are buried within the Monument (his dog is buried with them too!) in a beautiful and serene garden. Their house is on the property and was left the way Helen had it the day she passed away. There isn't access inside their home, but they do allow special events in their courtyard area that you'd need to inquire about. Entrance and parking are both free to the public, but you can make donations if you'd like. I love visiting this Monument a few times a year, as it's so peaceful and calming. We usually bring lunch and sit at one of the many picnic tables provided.

Nice grounds, but kind of awkward to visit after recent events. Also, you couldn't really walk…read morearound the national monument with the private residence housing. The museum was nice though!
