29 June. Last riding day in Solvang 2017

Was glad to see Olsen's back to the old normal look.  New floor, all new cases, new paint, and a nice fresh look.  But, most of the familiar pictures and decorations were replaced.


Waiting for our Motel provided continental breakfast.  One fresh pastry of your choice.  A warm roll, (several kinds to choose from),  home made jams and creamery butter, and Havarti Cheese.  With coffee, tea, whole or chocolate milk.  


Another corner


Lingonberry Jam


Back to the motel to plan the days rides and lunch
Jack setting up his GPS


Ostrich Farm


Back to the Quick Silver horse farm.  Barb scratching a back


They really are cute


Ready to ride!


These are all signs directing you to wineries


Which way?


All operating vineyards.  And, there are MANY more here in the valley.


Road side Lavender


The Lavender Farm


It's a comfortable place to visit


Old Live Oak Trees


Old Telephone/power pole being engulfed into a growing limb


Ooops!  We're in Kansas!


The California Drought wasn't kind to the Lavender.  But, it's all coming back now


My annual picture for Romy


Inside the gift shop.  The lady that owns the Farm moved from South Africa to Toronto, Canada, when she was 17.  And ended up here with this farm


Lots of interesting products for sale


Hard to get up and moving


Ferrari parked at Cold Springs Tavern.  Nice car!


A jewerly maker


A Barbara


A door handle


One of 52 springs on the property. There are 2 Blue Jays in this picture.



Low Carb Tavern Burger.  It was very good


One of several dining rooms here


Original building and fixtures from the Mid 1800's


Even a Cholula bottle hiding back there


The Sample tree seem to be a retired Coastie


Firm Foundation


Maybe not the safest place to park my bike


Jack and Barb are leaving from here.  Their next stop will be Barstow in the Mojave Desert.
