We were in Bakersfield for eight days and barely scratched the surface of things to see and do in the area. The weather left a lot to be desired but I wouldn't have wanted it too hot either so we made the best of it either by finding higher elevation or waiting until the fog burned off. One trip north on CA highway 58 to Fresno we found a wonderful restaurant in Porterville! One of 20 in a western USA chain (the first one opened is near Mt. Shasta in CA), the Black Bear Diner was a lucky find. After cruising Porterville from one end to the other, we pulled in when we realized everyone in town must be here because the parking lot was full. After a short wait, we were seated and enjoyed a wonderful meal. They have an extensive senior menu beginning at $4.50 for breakfast and topping out at $8.00 for dinner and everything on the menu is available at all times. This restaurant met all of our criteria for a "10" on the list of great stops for food in this, our great adventure. They have a website: www.blackbeardiner.com so if you're going to be on the road, check it out! I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
