    That's because Taft is just a crappy farm town at the southern most part of the San Joaquin Valley so there isn't anything there but illegal aliens and a few old farmers. As boring as Taft is there are much worse places in this state. I'm thinking of Gormin, CA and not the Gormin off of the 5 freeway as that Gormin has five gas stations and two fast food joints so it is a world of improvement over the Gormin which I am speaking about. No, the Gormin I'm speaking about is deep in the desert on the far side of Fort Irwin and the whole town is literally a **** hole. This Gormin was originally a 19th century train stop town which never got connected to the freeway system and so spent the next century decaying, festering, and filling with some of the most mentally ill, ****ed up looking, inbreed pieces of poor white trash you can imagine. The place is so bad the illegal aliens don't even bother going there.

    In the 1960's the county tried to build employment by putting a sewage processing plant for Fort Irwin there and to this day that is the only employer in town. There is one gas station in town but it was out of gas when we went there and there is one bar which has a half dozen elderly men in it all of whom are missing most of their teeth and who stink like ****! The rest of the town consisted of old boarded up homes which looked like they were builtin 1900 and then never painted again. Truly it was the worst hole I've ever been in and remember that I've been to numerous 3rd world countries and two war zones.
    ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm thinking of driving there just to check this place out! How far of a drive from San Diego?

          Townsville is a nice town. I liked it.

          I doubt US sailors would find the nice bits though.

            Concerning the native Australians, be aware there are two distinct native peoples here in Nth Qld. The Kooris being one and the Torres Strait Islanders being the other.

            If you get the chance visit North Eastern NSW... visit Byron Bay, Bangalow, the Channon Markets, and score some nice weed at Nimbin .... *sigh* I miss home...

            While Townsville is a ****hole, at least it's not a boring. Unlike a town some 150km south. This place is the most boring town on earth. A veritable black hole where absolutely nothing interesting ever happens.

                Lonestar you are a dope.

                One word of warning. Once you get on the highways around there its really badlands, there's been a lot of murders over the years - mostly sex or thrill killing. Not a big deal but be careful - don't hitchhike, pick up hitchhikers or stop for breakdowns. And when its payday for the Aussie soldiers, avoid the pubs.

                Apart from that its a nice place
