Is this for cross-training ? or like some Sister City program ? Just seems odd that a unit from Utah would travel so far to this area for Stand-bye when there's no fires I can find listed.
There's one just east of Fresno that my buddy is working but that's a ways away from Lebec
Very common in California. Seems the forest Service and Cal Fire crews are too busy in other area so they ask for help from other agencies and states. this past month I know of at least 4 Utah crews in California, three of them from here in southern Utah. We have had a type 3 engine down there since early June and have been asked to stay until October. Every 14 - 21 days we rotate the crew. My guys would rather be fighting a fire (they do get some fire action but not much) but the pay is good for them. I also have a crew in Texas right now. If things get hotter here in Utah we might bring them back.
Pozo / Santa Margarita is east of the 101 below Paso Robles...they would be much happier there!!
Years ago there was a great old bar in Pozo, the Pozo Saloon. It would be worth looking to see if it's still there. Santa Margarita has produced some amazing large mouth bass over the years.
I think the "saloon" is now closed
Saw reports of some Hotel Group buying it. Don't know if they've reopened it? Back in the day, the 70s, it was a great place to drink cold beer and shoot some pool. The place has an amazing history.
There is no railway thru Lebec...even the great high speed rail will go around thru the high desert.
Yes they have good pizza
Then they need to take down the sign next to the track.
That’ll pick you up in Claremont and take you to the train depot in Bakersfield. That one is much nicer than the converted Metro bus that I took.
His statement is true. Lol. There is no “track” through lebec. But there is a bus.
