Just what I want to do on my vacation! I love this part though;
"At the fight-filled race track and junk stores, a traveler learns an important lesson." Sounds like a great way to spend your $300, on fights and junk stores. I wonder what the next one will be?! |

On that same theme, AAA's Westways magazine has an article on the joys of parking your RV overnight in the parking lot of a Fresno area Wal Mart.

Then again if a gambler coming in over state line can't wait another hour they may want to rethink their choices in past times. Primm is good for food and restrooms. And a little shopping - but the outlet mall pretty much sucks. |

Saying that Bakersfield has a cheap "side" implies that there's a "not cheap" side to it. Which is LIES.
