From Bakersfield, CA, N35°22.741’ W119°2.797

Day 105

We were up early and getting ready to leave Skyline Park. Before we left we notice some balloons flying, they were pretty far off.

We decided to drive back through Fairfield on CA-12 to pick up CA-99 to Bakersfield. I did a cache at a rest stop. We only made one other stop, this one for fuel.

We got to Bakersfield at about 4. This park had good reviews and lived up to them as it is a gem.

We decided to go to a local Basque Restaurant, Benji’s. It is on Rosedale Highway where we turned into the park.

Before going to Benji’s I did two caches that were near the Park.

We had been to Benji’s a few years ago, but it was a lot better than we recalled. Gerri had Calves Liver, Glenna had the Shrimp Scampi and I had Duck in a green peppercorn sauce. If you aren’t familiar with Basque Restaurants, they serve what are called “set ups”. The set up consisted of pinto beans, soup, sliced tomatoes w/onions in vinegar, sliced tongue, green beans in a tomato sauce and French fries. We all brought food home.
