Date-ing

We drove to China Ranch from Death Valley today. China Ranch is a date farm in Tecopa, CA, and is the coolest little escape from the barren wastelands of the desert. Upon arrival we were treated to date-shakes, which were SO GOOD. And make no mistake, there was no shortage of date jokes and puns.

For the next couple days we will stay in a bed and breakfast within the ranch. We will sleep in giant tepees that had beds inside them. It is an interesting juxtaposition of the tepees next to the date palms and then desert canyons on the horizon. There is no internet or cell service, so we are completely off the map!
