James & Susan's Adventures

Morning….Hope everyone had a great Holiday weekend!! Sunday we took a bike ride along the canal. We are surrounded by hundreds of miles of these canal dirt roads. This is how they flood the fields and orchards. Big trees on the top right are lemon and the short kind of Continue Reading

More dunes along the highway. Apparently you have to have special tires on your side by side to get through these dunes. It would be good fun to do, however I would imagine the amount of sand you would gather would be in the pounds!! We had a really nice Continue Reading
