China Ranch Date Farm

The road in

 

A little oasis in the middle of nowhere. This is still a working date farm. It has had lots of changes and been different types of ranches or farms over the years. It is named China Ranch because the original homesteader was a Chinese man that had worked in the borax mines. He grew fruits and vegetables and established the water. On the way into the ranch you can see some of the mines in the hillsides

 











 

It amazes me the things you come across while going from place to place.
