A small town south of the gate to famous
Yosemite National Park - with virtually
nothing to do, unless you are a senior citizen attending club meetings at the local Raleys. Teenagers often resort to sex and drugs. The smarter ones have no choice but to drown themselves in school athletics to avoid the harsh reality living there.
STDs, teen pregnancy, tweakers, rednecks ,homeless and old people are prevalent.
It is a good retirement town complete with bargain marts on every corner and small town festivals.
Fair weather is unheard of. Only expect the extremes.
The
natural beauty of the mountain area is overshadowed by the tacky 80's and old western themed buildings.
"I hate Oakhurst. There's
nothing to do here."
"I wish this weather would last
more than a day, it's only hot or
freezing in Oakhurst."
"There's another tweaker. Typical of Oakhurst."
