In those last few pics of the big fields, what crops do the farmers normally grow? In Florida they grow strawberries in raised bed rows like that. Great looking ride, I to wish I was there.

The Salinas valley (south of San Jose on Hwy. 101) is known as America's salad bowl........where they grow every kind of vegtable that you can imagine.  Here in the Sacramento valley it could be pretty much anything from strawberrys, peaches, almonds, walnuts, pecans, perssimons, oranges, grapefruit, grapes, sugar beats, tomatoes, rice, alfalpha, sedan grass, sargram grass, sileage corn and probably at least a thousand others that I'm not thinking of right now.  Yes, lots of strawberries in this area.

From mountains to farm land to ocean.....we've got it all and always within a couple hours ride of just about anywhere in Nor Cal.  We are fortunate and blessed.

Medical Marijuana!!!  

 

That's a couple of counties north and west.  Number one cash crop in Humboldt County is marijuana.  And you don't have to have the medical cert. in that county to be in possession of less than an ounce.......no citation.  Read that in the local newspaper when the Nor Cal group was staying in Willits on one of our rides a couple of years ago.  Where were those county ordinances when I was young?

You trying to tell us something Jock?

I thought that was just "lane splitting" to the NoCal riders...

You go to the back of the class and sit.  Look at the pictures again.....you'll see the almond orchard.   Actually, kind of hard to miss.

Nice, very nice.

Especially to us Northerners in Ohio.......riding season is over.

Thats was the Miker ride in in early 80's with a Honda 400F out of Fairfield.... at least the water was low at the crossings... ...

Yep, from the cold Ohio, scoot is hibernating for the winter right now

Ah! Just pulling your chain. I meant to type in my other post. "I did not know California grew all that stuff you listed". We don't have any almond trees around here that I know of, so I've never seen one in person. We have some pecans,walnuts,hickory nuts. Not hard to miss if you are like me and don't know what you are looking at. I enjoyed the pics anyway.

Was just funnin with ya......you don't have to sit at the back of the class.

You might be surprised how many people back east think we all live on the beach next door to movie stars.  I've been asked a number of times on my jouneys "do you know any movie stars.....have you met any".  It's like "man, you gotta come out of that closet you live in.

Yep Calif. is a major agricultural state.  Probably the largest agricutural university in the nation, UC Davis, is about 15 miles out of Sacramento.  They do a heck of a lot of crop expermentations all over Nor Cal.

Now I wouldn't know a hickory nut or a hicory tree if I was in the middle of the orchard.

By the way, my next ride report looks to be very promising also.  It's been unusually cold and unusally dry here in Nor Cal the past thrity days or so.  Suppose to continue to be dry the next ten days or so.  Really looking forward to this weekend.

Well, next time you are close to me I can show you some hickory trees in my front yard. Nice shade trees but the fallen nuts when mowing come out like bullets.PITA. We are getting plenty of rain here. I look forward to seeing pics of your next adventure.
