5 /5 Marsh Jeremiah (666): FORAGERS: theres an ABUNDANCE of elderberry bushes. Youll also find some brambles, wild rosehips, Goodings willow, and inedible gourds.
Cool place to go for a walk at. Be careful though, the ranchers who live in the area think everyone is sus. They kept a close eye on me. Not just when I was near my car but on the trails too. They had someone drive by every so often, just watching... They wont acknowledge your existence though, theyre just paranoid. Kinda funny since they put so much effort into it being a nature preserve for people to hike at but whenever someones there, they make it unbearably uncomfortably with their dead eyes carefully watching your every movement.
DO NOT GO ALONE unless youre ready to keep yourself alive. I dont trust them. Im a white male and my gut was telling me that theyre not worthy of trust. If youre someone who identifies as a woman or if youre a more obvious member of LGBTQIA+ , please bring something to keep yourself alive. Bakersfield is super conservative / misogynistic. Them cowboys think theyre hotshots that can do whatever they want because they got a tail between their cowardly legs
