Flow, Kern River, flow
I am with the U.S. Army's 923rd Movement Control Team, stationed in Iraq. The 923rd MCT is the reserve unit based in Bakersfield, just off the river on Chester Avenue.
I would love to see the Kern River flowing through Bakersfield again. If there is something we can do to help out from here, just let me know, and I will try to get it done. Being as we are here, though, it will be hard to make the Feb. 9 deadline for submitting written comments to the State Water Resources Control Board. But since most of the unit is from Bakersfield, we will try to do our part.
We do enjoy being a part of the Bakersfield community, and I think getting the river flowing again would be a highlight of the town.
Thank you for getting this idea out to the people. Hopefully they will feel similarly, and do as much as they can to help.
