Small Town vs. Big City

When we pulled into Tehachapi, California (a tiny town between Lancaster & Bakersfield), we became instant celebrities. Residents of Tehachapi were ecstatic to see the Wienermobile. After dropping our luggage at our hotel, we stopped by the local newspaper only to find that the photographer had already been snapping pictures as we were checking into the hotel. The photographer climbed aboard and we drove to the local park. The phones in the neighborhood began ringing and soon much of the town had stopped by the park.

Small-town Tehachapi provides quite the contrast to overpopulated Los Angeles. Traffic is non-existent, other forms of civilization are not within sight, and most everyone has time to stop and say "hello."
