I was born and raised in Los Angeles, County and spent many a time at the deadly Kern River, I also heard that the late Waylon Jennings wrote a song about almost drowning there. It was either Waylon or Merle Haggard. (click)

Anyway, I was a Security Guard in Shafter right off of 7th Standard Highway in June 2002. It was a construction site for the future TARGET DISTRIBUTION CENTER and it was about 50% completed. Let me tell you this, that area is quite haunted most likely due to the high number of auto crashes there. In Nov 2001 a car full of teenagers hit a powerpole about 100 yds from the location of the construction site killing all but the driver.
