Kern River

Made the trip from Upland, Ca to Kern River after picking up the trailer. The drive was very scenic once we got onto 395. I use Delorme Topo for navigation and every once in a while it takes us through an interesting set of roads...in this case it led us down a dirt road that connected two freeways on the way to Kernville and Kern river. Was quite a kick. In any case there was really no real of road driving, but the camping was at least primitive and somewhat isolated. There are a ton of campgrounds along the Kern River and while I really wanted to go to Monache Meadows we had already made the drive from Sacto so we had already been driving for a good 7
hours before we got to Upland and began this leg of the Journey.
