Message From our friends at Holloway Gypsum 
The manager of Holloway gypsum mine has notified us that on Tuesday February 10th the Bakersfield Swat Team will be conducting practice drills in full uniforms at the office and also in the “Pit” location on field northwest of the camping site. This is only a practice so please rest assured it is nothing more than that.  Please keep well out of their way, not a spectator event.

President of LHFFMAA

Well knowest F1C sportsman spotted at Lost Hills. He has not entered yet.  Would one of his associates help him enter!

Jean Batten was New Zealand’s greatest aviator, celebrated around the world for her heroic solo flights during the 1930s. The Percival Mew Gull that she flew on many of her record breaking flights can be seen on display at Auckland international airport.
