Our trip to Oak Glen was
wonderful. Our tour guides Eva and Mark took us through the property.
Mark explained the variety of apples that are grown there and the types
of vegetation native to the area. Eva took us through the packing house,
which dated back to the '30's and still is in use today. She also took
us into the apple cider press room, which also dates back to the thirties.
Our group at Los Rios Rancho
We hiked over to the old
school house, which is part of the Los Rios Rancho, and has been brought
back to its original condition thanks to the many volunteers there.
The class room is in pristine condition and the artifacts are wonderful.
If you missed the trip and have not been there I strongly recommend
that you take a day and treat yourself to this amazing place.

The bus ride down there
was a treat in itself. Lee Cozad brought along a video of an old Lake
Arrowhead classic called "Dulcey" which we viewed on the various
monitors on board the bus. A big thank you to Peter Jorris who coordinated
the tour and Lee for the movie. I'd also like to thank Jim Glen for
suggesting the trip.
