Woody



Woody is on Highway 155 on the way from Delano to Lake Isabella. Woody consists mostly of the woody remains of the Buzzard's Roost, a restaurant and bar with wooden collapsed bandstand in the rear. The town goes back a long ways, in California terms, to Mr. Woody the Pioneer in the 1860s and Mr. Weringer, mine owner and entrepreneur, who laid out the town in the late 1880s. Signs and remains of signs are all about, signifying impermanence.
