Travel the USA

After the country re-opened after Covid-19, we are
"On the Road Again."
Please enjoy the 'armchair travels' and feel free to make comments.

In September of 2019, we made the
'epic' trip to the east coast for the first birthday of our grandson Evan.
Since Evan's birthday is in September, we decided to join a 29 day RV Caravan for the New England fall color. The tour starts in Maine and ends in Niagara Falls. All told, we did about 12,000 miles with the new truck and trailer.

Week #2 Youth Haven Ranch - Eloy AZ

 

The guys had a bit of work on the barn
(to be continued next week)
The door of the shed still needs more work,
shimming and fitting.


The rain quit and the guys worked, and the ladies took a 
"Ladies day out"

Queen City Olive Mill


These two stones crushed the olives (skin and seeds included)
and all of the crushed mush (pomace) came out at the bottom
and was carried over to the 'old oak bucket'

Rather like a big colander or sieve--
pomace in top, olive oil drains out.



Today's equipment (aka "The New Stone Mill")

It doesn't look much like the 'old oak bucket' does it?

Then, we get to get a lesson on Olive Oil Tasting 
and
after the tour we (of course)  go shop for the 
Extra Virgin Olive Oil grown on this property.
