Rent a trailer/ Rv Bob and stay on site. Firstly as its far far more fun and secondly.. The local hotels are........ Interesting.

Having said that, a further 15-20 mins drive and you can be in Bakersfield where there are some lovely hotels. I wouldn't mind spending a night or two at the one which Joe C arranged th banquets in last year.... Now that was a nice hotel!
I look forward to seeing you there in a few months.
