I took a ride around Kern County today with my brother Don. We met at Bakersfield Harley Davidson. We took Highway 155 East through Glenville to Greenhorn Summit. Greenhorn Summit has a elevation of 6102 feet.
Just past the summit is a little community of Alta Sierra where we had lunch at the Greenhorn Grill.
I had a Hamburger with sauteed mushrooms and grilled onions, side order of onion rings and a couple glasses of iced tea for under $12.50. This is a fairly new eating establishment, but once it is found out it should be pretty busy with the week-end crowds.
After lunch we headed down the hill into Wofford Heights. From a turnout just above the town I took this picture of Lake Isabella. This lake is fed by the Kern River.
Three miles west of the Lake Isabella Dam is the Historic Town of Keyesville. From 1853 until 1870 Keyesville was the center of both Placer and Quartz Gold mining. The original Keys mine is still active.
Still standing is the original General Store of Keyesville.
