Also check out LbNA #56970 along the same trail
From Kernville, drive north up Sierra Way about 20 miles to McNally’s Steak Restaurant on the Kern River.
Park at restaurant or just past the restaurant at parking area near trail sign. Find the pedestrian bridge behind the restaurant and cross the Kern River. Head left at the trail sign at the other side of the bridge. Continue walking along the Whiskey Flat trail until you reach a sandy portion with a willow tree in the middle of the trail. Just after this willow there will be a lone digger pine on the right of the trail. The tree is mostly dead with scorch marks on the backside and one living branch hanging over the trail. Just behind this tree is a battered barbed wire fence. Take 6 steps to a large rock near the downed fence and look on the northwest side of the rock under a flat rock for the Madder ‘n ‘ell Cowboy.
I bet you can figure out why the Cowboy is mad. If you can't see the evidence in downed trees it is because the land does recover somewhat but in early 2000's a careless camper cooked hot dogs over an open flame while the wind was blowing causing a huge fire that scared thousands of acres.
