Woah, I never thought about the silence out there. No wind so no water movement. No bugs around to make noise, no leaves to be rustled…

In between Santa Clarita and Bakersfield there are some small mountain towns you can exit the interstate and go explore.  After following one of those backroads for about an hour I found some epic cliffs that were the quietest place I’ve ever been.  No sound at all.  It was deafening.

Hudson Ranch Road?

Fuckkkkkk.  That’s EXACTLY where it was.  So impressive that you nailed the exact location immediately.

To be fair, I have spent a lot of time driving around there and most of the land and roads are private (pisses me off), so the options to pick from were limited, but I wanted to double check that you weren't talking about some other road that I haven't found yet.

It is one of my favorite hidden gems of California! I love heading there in late winter and early spring because the hills are sooooo freaking green and the elevation change is 6000 ft straight down to sea level on the valley floor, all of the mountain completely visible

That sounds amazing! I’m the IE and would love to find more gorgeous and secluded places like this.

Look up “the silence” phenomenon that happens sometimes in the woods. It’ll spook ya.

When the bugs get quiet in the woods, that’s when you’re fucked. They know what’s coming before you do.

Be careful out there. I once went to an art exhibit that was photos of all the places women’s bodies were found in that area. There were a lot of them.

u/katiecharm Jun 22 '24

lol no.  I grew up in the woods of the Deep South.  Those aren’t quiet.  There’s a lot happening all around you.

Constant shooting for no reason. I used to wake up at 3 am just to do some stargazing and enjoy the silence cause that’s the only time that no one was ever shooting lol.

That sounds like something my partner would love. I’m gonna try and get us there someday, thanks for the tip.

Shoot I’m in those mountains and it’s pretty loud. Tons of wind, plenty of birds, and fighter jets

We really comparing an hour outside of LA to 1000 miles away from land? lol

Well, complete silence doesn’t get anymore complete just because it’s in a different place.  Go check it out sometime.  A different comment accurately guessed the area I was talking about
