QUOTE: Originally posted by Ted Bell Some of us who railfan Tehachapi (Ca) may have wondered what it would be like to live there. Well, someone I know has just recently moved his family up there and now resides in a beautiful house in the city of Tehachapi. I stayed with him for a few days and this is how we spent the evenings. After dinner his son would join us and we would make a quick stop for coffee and hot chocolate, and then in just a few minutes we would be at the loop or Woodford. We'd catch the nightly parade, do some star gazing, listen for coyotes, or whatever. What a great way to spend the evening! And when we're ready to leave, we'd be home in just a few minutes. Yes, I'm looking for property up there myself.... [:D] Ted
Have fun with your trains
QUOTE: Originally posted by eolafan Oh yes, indeed, living in Tehachapi is a real railfans dream come true, BUT REALLY, this IS Tehachapi, and not L.A., Chicago, New York, etc. so what do you do when you get tired of railfanning (ANYTHING can be overdone, and I do mean ANYTHING, even railfanning...forgive my sacralidge folks). What about schools, medical care, etc., or is Tehachapi a big enough town to have all of the "must haves"?
QUOTE: Originally posted by DRBusse Ted, how long does it take to drive from Tehachapi to your steakhouse in Beverly Hills?
