..I'm on my way to the Stampede...The NorCal Stampede..(Not the Calgary Stampede).
..I'm taking my time getting up there and my first stop was Bakersfield..I haven't been up to Bakersfield since Buck Owens passed so my first stop was the Crystal Palace..
..For those who enjoy Country music, Bakersfield is the home of the "Bakersfield Sound" with such names as Buck Owens and Merle Haggard to name a couple..For those who are into rock you may be surprised who was influenced by this sound..
This is a good read..

..Plus on this trip I am driving thru California's farmland the whole way..We are probably in the worst drought California has ever seen in history so I am taking a lot of back farm roads getting a feel for how devastating this drought actually is..
..I will also be stopping off at a famous fabricators shop to chat and take some pictures as well as full coverage of the race, depending on internet service of course..
..More to follow..
