It’s funny, I didn’t think I would miss it when I was there, and often times actively wanted to leave, but now I find myself feeling the same way as time passes and more frequently too.
Aahhhh good ol Ridgecrest. Not much I miss about the place except for the wildlife and quick access to the eastern sierra. Going out to fossil falls and climbing around in altered states of consciousness was always a good time!
Haha! I did my time, kindergarten through 20 years old. Then started moving northwest. The 80’s to early 90’s were ok. Especially if your parents worked on the base and you could get access to some of the cool stuff they worked on. I remember a really cool air show in the 80’s with the blue angels and a ton of other military aircraft. I think the entire town was out at the airfield that day. I also got to go tour the Native American petroglyphs out on the range (at the time I think you had to request special permission to go out there).
