BigCX, we lived on the Kern River near Hart Park before moving to CO. Here is a pic of it from our back yard. We'll have to swap stories some time.

The river is in the background, behind the vanishing edge pool.

Neighbors and I discovered a body just south of Hart Park that had been missing for several days as we cruised in my Zodiak and their Jet Skis. It is a very dangerous river in some areas, but a beautiful location for a homesite.
