Colton, CA to Fresno, CA (271 miles)

I got into some hot weather (104 degree) on my way to Fresno but I seen some really interesting things.

On my way to Fresno I stopped at Bidart Dairy Farm, the place is hugh (7000 cows) and beautiful.  All of you on the Ride for the Relay trip know
 I was involved in the business.

While traveling north I seen a lot of what I thought were peach trees.  I finally stopped and asked
what the tree were and they were Almond Trees.
I stopped and picked up nuts off the ground,
was able to break the shell with my hand, and ate nuts right there.  The best Almonds I ever ate.

Also along the way I keep seeing these large fields of green plants about 2 feet tall with flowers on them, so I asked an
AT&T workman along the road what it was.  It was cotton.

Next I stop a a grape harbor to find out that it was a Raisin Farm.

Following a great drive through the California country I ended up at the Holiday Inn
in downtown Fresno.
