She gave me lots of brochures about what's going on in our area. Keep in mind not all businesses are members of the Chamber of Commerce so you can do your own research to find more businesses in town. Ida spent a long time with me and was very nice. If you want to know about anything going on in this community I would definitely start here first. Whether it be where to stay, places to eat, camp, they have all that good information.

The building and facilities are a little dated and could use some upgrading. They have a kitchen where they serve food for Bingo. Smelled good when we came in. Fun night of Bingo! Every Friday at 6 but doors open at 4 and it gets crowded. The metal chairs you sit on for three hours are extremely uncomfortable. I would suggest bring chair pads to sit on.

You may wonder "What on earth is she doing in Caliente?" The answer is simple because my sons…read morefamily has lived in Caliente for the last 100 years. Just simple railroad mountain country people. That back in the day Great grandpa worked for the railroad all week and great grandmother was the singer for a band. In fact rumors go she would make more money in one weekend singing the blues away, then Great Grandpa working on the railroad all week long. Not much is around except the Caliente post office, the train that goes on at all hours of the night. Lots of cotton tails running wild with adorable cows all over running free and happy. At night if you are lucky bobcats will come out and skunks too. Lots of bats and many of the locals have goats and chickens. Oh yes, sure! Did I mention horses? Of course the cowboys/girls have horses. Be careful with rattlesnakes in fact that is what stopped me on my on my tracks looking for a 1860's lost abandon cemetery. That in the late 50's grate-grandpa best friend was berried. I want to say that right where grandmothers cabin is located. I found about 10 homes long ago empty. Those homes all have a story that grandmother can tell us as a story, of when she was a little girl. She remembers everyone's names and what became of them. Two of the homes were on one point where in fact aschool site aka Caliente Elementary but a dork set it on fire. In this little mountain ghost town you will find the best pies and cookies. One recipe that grate-grandmother acquired from one of the cook's back in the day "Tehachipi's prison cookies" those are by far the best cookies I have ever had. Only dirt roads and no street lights so naturally any wild animal is around the corner. Bears and mountain lions have been sighted. So if you decide to visit you are in gods good humor. No gas station no McDonald's no starbucks. The closest coffee house is in Keens the other small mountain town down the hill. Otherwise Tehachipi might be your saving grace. If you like alone time and you are wild at heart like I am. The nights you will blessed with the magic of the milky way. The back dirt road leads to Kern River and that is another favorite stop of mine. If you need to get away from the big city you might want explore taking a dirt road with me and I will show you around. Especially if you are into Rail road trains ghost lost forgotten mountain towns. Caliente is a sentimental family ghost town that has many stories of a lady name Susie that used play the organ and sing in a band. In fact she played and partied with Cesar Chaves! Oh yeah! Babe! My sons family really is for real! to be continued

Established in the 1870s, Caliente was originally named Allens Camp for a cattle rancher and…read moresettler named Gabriel Allen. Later, the name Agua Caliente, coming from hot springs in the area, was proposed and may have been used. This name conflicted with the community of the same name in Sonoma County. With the railroad's arrival in 1875, the shortened name Caliente was adopted. Caliente prospered during Southern PacificRailroad's construction of Tehachapi Pass line. For a time, the Telegraph Stage Line and the Cerro Gordo Freighting Co. also ran through Caliente and its full-time population grew to 200. There were approximately 60 buildings, including 20 or more saloons. Today, Caliente has a population of about 1000. I'm not sure why you would visit. There isn't a town to speak of and just one place to grab a bite, but it's a very cool place that makes you think you're a million miles away from la. And if you like urban exploration, there are quite a few abandoned mills, farms and houses all basically along the one road (littered with cows...no really, you most likely WILL encounter MANY cows on and off the main road) that goes through the town.

You take recyclable materials to diversion area, items that cannot be recycled take to the face of the landfill. They have directional arrows to follow, so you can find the area you need. For green waste, ordinary household trash, electronic waste, there is no charge for that. I do know they charge for somethings but that has never applied to us. I know you have to have your loads properly covered and secure to prevent things flying out of your truck.

Cub Lake is breathtaking and the memorial is set over looking the water. They have a couple benches facing the plaques with the names of our heroes. There is also picnic tables set near by, would be nice for a picnic with friends and family. I am trying to get more information about the memorial as to when they built it and any other important facts I should know. I will update my review then. I hope everybody stops by and visits this beautiful veterans memorial at Cub Lake.
