High Road or Low Road?


Recently I had to make a delivery in Cottonwood's countryside (out where there's mostly gravel roads). It was the same day I had a flat tire and the weather was toasty. When I got to this point I decided to take the low road as the bridge was very narrow. I'm just glad the creek was dry. After this delivery I had one more and it was in Platina. Sure glad I didn't have another flat or I would have had to call a tow truck. (Just click on the picture for a larger view).

The Community of Flournoy







The small community of Flournoy, California is located about twelve miles west of Corning where Corning Road and Paskenta Road meet and I deliver to this community pretty often. Established in 1906, Flournoy's main product is cattle and goats. The community's single store serves as Post Office, Grocery Store and Deli/Cafe. As you can see by the sign the little cafe is famous for its Belly Buster Burger and Arizona Ice Tea. (Just click on the pictures for a larger view).

Almond Orchard




It looks like another bumper crop of Almonds here in the Corning area this year. Just look how loaded this one tree is. They tell me the harvest will start in a couple of weeks. (Just click on the pictures for a larger view).
