They got you over a barrel and are squeezing you like Tony Soprano on the money end, I wouldn’t want to start the process over again.
Yes and no on Ridgcrest, I liked that my boys and I could ride our dirt bikes right from the neighborhood out to the hills. I liked being close to the Sierras, Lake Isabella, Kern River etc… I liked for the first time in 20 years I was close to my family again.
What I didn’t like was my work place, hands down worst moral and highest turn over in my career. The summer heat was insane, it didn’t even think about cooling off till midnight it seemed. I do like the desert in the winter time tho.
We sold our place in Lancaster about a month ago and have since relocated to the Midwest now. Antelope Valley has gotten pretty crazy these days, Tehachapi is nice.
