mrduck Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Went for a ride on Friday with Cornelius and Steve to check out an old mine I heard about from a guy that claims he worked there in his youth. Good roads, decent weather, great company! The old mine, right on the edge of the road. Been by here several times and never realized what's here. The stamping plant. Unfortunatly the taggers have also found the place so no pics of the interior. Very tastless "artwork" even by my standards! The mine shaft. We went in about 50 feet or so and the flashlight showed another 100 feet of tunnel, we decided that was far enough Old adobe ruins across the road,might have been the mine owners house back then. Lots of cattle out on the road,and stopped in at the Twin Oaks Cafe for lunch. The food was unremarkable, but the guy(?) cooking is in the middle of some "changes"....I seem to allways find these weird people Don J :wave:Thanks for the look Link to comment

notacop Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 My Wife's Dad had a few acres back on a dirt road out of Twin Oaks. Real right wing gun freak neighborhood. Ideal for the frantic survivalists. The cows can carry on an intelligent conversation though. That is pretty country side. Have you done Breckenridge road yet? It's a real pip. Link to comment
Heyfrank Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I have road past that a number of times, never stopped. Going into lake Isabella on the left hand side is a Mexican restaurant that is very good and priced right. I should go up there before Tehachapi freezes over. Thanks for the info. Link to comment
