A few years ago, I made a solo trip to the China Ranch Date Farm in Tecopa, California.
Technically speaking, it’s not a good idea to go traipsing about in the desert alone—but I’m a trained professional. I’m supposed to go do that kind of stuff. Really.
At China Ranch, I walked all over the grounds—so picturesque—and
discovered I still don’t like dates.
And since I was alone, I got to stop and take all the
pictures I wanted without the non-stop background commentary (also known as
complaining) from my son about how many pictures I was taking (like one below
of a gnarled bit of weathered wood).
One of these days, I’ll make it back to Tecopa and the Date
Farm. Maybe next time I'll even bring someone with me.
Looks like an interesting place to see. Is it open to the public?
ReplyDeleteIt sure is, Tom. There's a little shop there that sells all kind of date-related food & souvenirs (of all kinds) -- they've also recently opened a little display about the history of the Farm. Great day trip!
