Hart park Barn

Sorry, no picture of the barn at this time, I'll add it sometime this week. But I would like to start a posting about the barn and hope to get input from "y'all". The barn is old and at one time almost fell down. Then someone organized a "barn raising" and repaired it. It is now a great staging area and nice place for a picnic. It has parking, several pens, water, tables, and a wash rack for a hot horse. If you have info on the who's and when's, let me know and I'll redo this post and add the picture.

Horseman John Hustead was responsible for getting the barn cleaned out and repaired about 10 to 12 years ago. He also got the portable panels donated or if not donated they were purchased at a great price. A barn dedication/trail ride/barbecue was held and drew a big crowd. We all owe a big thank you to John for his work. He still rides along the Kern River.

Ed. note: I remember reading about this at the time in the Bakersfield Californian. Thank you John for saving our barn, many of us have enjoyed using it since the renovation.
