One of the first orders of business, once we got settled here in Yuma, was to put together a fall bus trip for all the neighbors. The company with the nicer buses only had one trip to Julian, CA set-up...called...bus wasn't full...contacted all the neighbors, including some, who hadn't arrived yet...eleven folks made reservations.
The reason for the fall trip is the scrump-deli-itious apple pies they make and sell.
It's always a fun trip on the bus with the neighbors...jokes...stories...snacks...laughs.
Here we are at the Rong Branch restaurant. We all had small lunches followed by big pieces of warm apple pie most with ice cream...mmm, yummy!
It's a quaint little old mining town now with small boutique gift & clothing shops, small cafes and bed & breakfasts. It is definitely a tourist place.
Because it was a cold blustery day with sporadic raindrops falling, most of the neighbors cruised in and out of the shops and craft fair trying to stay dry and warm. Norman and I did a few caches, which took us around town to the historic places...
We definitely got really really cold, but just a bit damp. And Norman chased his hat a few times as it blew across the parking lot or cemetery.
As we bussed out of town with our whole pies stashed in the bays, we watched the snow plows warming up for the expected snowfall the next day...brrrrr
Norman is right now making his oatmeal for breakfast, and all I can think of is "I wish I had a piece of that apple pie". My mouth is watering...
