I lived in Ridgecrest and Tehachapi, and the wife is from bakersfield. I moved back here to Ohio with her about 4 years ago (I grew up here). She has no desire to ever move back there and the only things I miss are the mountains and a few friends. Entire time I lived there I never saw the ocean and tried hard to stay on the east side of the Sierras. Life is better on that side, especially the farther north you go - but the big idiots on the west side of the mountains make laws which have no relevance to those on the east side. It is the great california band aid solution. If it effects people in the city then we must pass a law for the entire state. Idiots. I only go back to visit friends and my daughter - and I manage a drive to Mt. Whitney. The scenery there is great, it is the politicians that are polluting the state.
