Oh why did I not snap a picture of him?? An auto parts city boy who now has Murphy acreage and lots of trees, is magnanimous of spirit. He drags 4 inch irrigation pipe around the fields for Applegate River water, has a well for house use, and a year round spring up on the hill. His 1862 water rights guarantee that as long as there is water to be had.........his fields and orchards will be green. The "Free Apples and Pears" sign on the road offers all the bounty he and the deer, and wild turkeys, cannot consume-- to anyone passing by. Thank you Bill.
We were able to pass plums and tomatoes to his outstretched hands. He was seen to be heading for the house, grinning and talking bacon, bacon, bacon.
When he is not "farming," he is busy working on making two pristine Sunbeam cars out of the five that he has now.
