We arrived in Pahrump, NV on Sunday October 21st where we met up with friends Rich and Tina (whom we’ll be traveling with) and Virgle and Helen (who live here in Pahrump). We had a great visit with them all. Rich and Tina left yesterday and Virgle & Helen had to make an unexpected trip to Prescott, AZ today - we’ll be leaving tomorrow for Bullhead City, AZ where we’ll meet up again with Rich and Tina for a day.
Today we took a little side trip to Tecopa, CA. , about 50 miles from Pahrump, to visit the China Ranch Date Farm. China Ranch is a family owned and operated small farm, a lush piece of greenery in the middle of the Mohave Desert. It was well worth the drive, and of course we bought dates - and stuff made with dates. All very good too I might add. Here are a couple of pictures of the date farm. Notice how they cover the dates with old clothing and pieces of fabric - we thought it was to protect the dates from the weathe
r - wrong - it’s to protect them from the birds! Who knew????
