Autumn in Dairyville, California

Autumn has arrived and I think almost every Walnut tree along my Route has turned that golden Autumn color. Dairyville is a very small community on Highway 99E between Red Bluff and Corning and on both sides of the Highway between these locations are miles of Walnut Tree Orchards. The picture you are viewing are young trees. The older trees are much larger. (Just click on the picture for a larger view).

Never To Be Again

This sign in Olinda on Happy Vally Road is left to remind us of the good ole days. But it really hasn't been that long ago. I go even further back to gas station signs in Texas that advertised 14 Cents/gal with 20 times Blue Chip Stamps. Back then a uniformed man would check your tires, water, battery, and clean your windshields just for the few dollars it took to fill the tank. And don't forget those precious Blue Chip Stamps that came as a bonus. (Just click on the picture for a larger view.)

The Post Office at Tehama, California

The Tehama, California Post Office is located just South of Gerber, California and West of Los Molinos. I occasionally make deliverlies to this very small community. I would say the main industry is Walnuts and Cattle and Goat Ranches. (Just click on the picture for a larger view.)

The Post Office In Vina, California

Every wonder what the Post Offices looks like in very small towns or communities? Well, I will be showing pictures of Post Offices in the small communities in which I occasionally make deliveries. In these small communities, I have yet to find an unfriendly Post Master or one unable to assist me in finding an address; and I have sought their help often. The picture you are viewing is the Post Office in Vina, California. Vina is a very small community South of Corning, California and just off Highway 99E. Probably the main industry in Vina is walnuts and almonds with some cattle ranches. (Just click on the picture for a larger view.)
