Wow words cannot say how much I appreciate the DMV. I have been to many DMV locations and everyone…read moreto have been the workers appear to not enjoy their jobs. I live in the Inland Empire and due to Covid it has wrecked havoc not just on peoples lives but also personal schedules. My son had a permit that was expiring and he had only two days to take the behind the wheel test. The only choices I had was Blythe or Ridgecrest I choice hating to drive far but it was closer than my other choice. I arrived at the office 1 hour ahead of time and my son was able to take his test. During the test their was an incident and Natalie was his examiner. I have nothing but praise for Natalie and the office manager. This office should be a role model for all DMV in terms of customer service and care. They greet you with a smile and are eager to help you with your concern, not with a frown and discouragement. The office is very orderly small but I get it small town. I telling anyone who is willing to wait the entire day in an DMV office or in the hot sun should rethink it. You can use that time to drive up north and enjoy a welcoming smile and great service. It's people like Natalie who encourages the kids to do their best even though she has her job being the examiner she puts them at ease. The drive up to Ridgecrest maybe a little long but the wait is very short. It's people like Natalie and the Ridgecrest DMV that makes people drive up worth the while. I hope this post doesn't ruin a good thing and send flocks of people up north, what I wanted to do is tell everyone their is a DMV in Ca. that will send you off with a smile and a long but short drive home. It's worth the drive than spending the day at DMV south of there. THANKS Natalie and the Ridgecrest DMV staff!

Based on the location this is the Department of Motor Vehicles…read more I have been to four different California DMV's: Long Beach, Santa Monica, Culver City, and Ridgecrest. That's not counting the Nevada DMV in Las Vegas. The Ridgecrest DMV, hands down, the very best. I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes in line. The people working there are friendly, efficient, and actually know what they are doing. Whenever my boss based in Los Angeles had to deal with the DMV, he made an excuse for coming up to Ridgecrest in order to use the Ridgecrest DMV. They are that much better.

The only town, Trona, has a few places to stop and 2 gas stations now and while the prices are high befitting its remote location it's an essential stop. Death Valley is not just a name. It can be brutal for the unprepared so I always stop here and fill up for added safety margin. There are some things to do like the Trona Pinacles etc. Beyond that its JAHM or Just Another Historical Marker

I'm not musically talented myself, but I enjoy popping in there to enjoy great music with some quality people. We recently attended a dance event by the Big Band Xpress (I have been dying to check it out for months, but struggled to get the time to go!), and I am head-over-heels in love with it! The band was to-die-for and played a great mix of big band music. We danced the night away and even had a hard time keeping up with some of the dancing pros! It is fantastic that the USO Building hosts family-fun events and date-night-worthy fun too!
