about 2 hours from there to the South Sequoia area... a couple more hours to get to Huntington on the West or Mammoth on the East.
There's a bunch of us within an hour from those areas you mentioned, I'm in the San Gabriel Mtns just to the south and pass through rosamond/Lancaster on the way to the Sierras.
Keep us updated when you get here and can hook up next season.
Not sure on the exact reading of the law as far as decibles allowed, but a spark arrester is required in National forest.

There are many different areas to ride. Plus each area has its own spercific way to "deal with the rules".
The most "enforced" area like Mammoth Lakes where you would see hundreds of sledders on a Saturday with several NFS people writing tickets , checking registration and issuing safety inspections.
Then you can go to other places and be lucky to see another snowmobile group all weekend.
Here is a link to the noise law:
http://dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d12/vc27203.htm
Snowmobile Limit
27203. For the purposes of Section 27200, the noise limit of 82 dbA shall apply to any snowmobile manufactured after 1972.
Added Ch. 83, Stats. 1975. Effective January 1, 1976.
hmm...tough decision...I'd rule out Rosamond right away. Lancaster is kind of horrible too but you'd be closer to access other things besides sledding.
I kind of like Tehachapi, it does snow there sometimes, not enough to sled but it's fun. And you're away from the riff raff of Lancaster=higher crime rates and meth labs. I have a lot of people at my office that live in Lancaster so I guess it's not that bad
Hey Chuck,
I would vote for Tehachapi also, a little more rural and less ghetto. Sounds like a bit
of culture shock coming for you, alaska versus ghettofornia. Looks like the sleds you
have will be begging for sonora pass type riding. If you need more advice post away
cause the so cal crew is good people and always willing to help. Jim

I would move into the house in Lancaster for cheap.
Then go around and see what you can find.
SoCal neighborhoods change from city, neighborhood and street to street.
So to say one neighbor hood is different from another is true generally but the big difference is the street and traffic flow around your house.
Are you going to work at China Lake?
as far as the ghetto part there is plenty of that here in Anchorage that why i live about 25 miles north of where i work
no Edwards
yeah some of the pics i have seen on here i can't wait to ride there but, i know there's going to be alot less choices and alot more driving atleast there is still snow
yeah, a friend used to live out on east side of the 14 Ave. I, it was all new houses hardly any crime or anything. next thing you know 2 houses down the street becomes Sec. 8, w/ in a year there are murders, drug dealers, etc.
I guess for a bit financially it would help you out but if you want that area the west side of the 14 is a little more "on the outskirts of town" Quartz Hill...I live about 20 miles from Lancaster/Palmdale in a rural town w/ 1500 people, just far enough from "the jungle". lol
do u dirt bike or offroad? lots of that to do out there.
I don't think you'll be too disappointed w/ the sledding...plus if you're around Rosamond/Lancaster u have an hour jump on the rest of us. There aren't too many sledders so you get a pretty huge riding area all to yourself.

The biggest thing for yopu being there is the dust / wind and heat.
The dust can ruin a paint job or your lungs pretty fast.
The wind gusts and constant wind around there can cause things to bent / rip / break.
The heat can bake just about anything to a new color.
Anyway like the machinist said. Any area in California can change real quick.
As far as riding .... I would think it is more technical here. Not as much big wide open areas like AK so you gotta pick your lines better and dodge more trees / logs / creeks etc.
