California

On our way now to Washington, last night we had a great night with the Paul and Lynn Huntsinger, great way to finish off California. San Joaquin valley was quite a eye opening and definitely worth some extra investigation at a later date. It is essentially large scale intensive production 2-3 crops/ year high value crops all irrigated they only get 6 inches of natural rainfall a year. Having said that there are some very wealthy people and a lot of poverty also which is a struggle for us to understand when the area is such a prosperous agricultural area.
Fresno has some real issues with there city and how to resurrect it especially in the downtown area, however I think we saw the model to do this in sonoma county just north of San Francisco but they have not be speaking with each other which is quite surprising, I guess communication problems happen everywhere.
