100 Things I Like About Living in Hollister

Today is day 231 in my quest to post a daily photo for one year. So, I think it's time for me to start my list of 100 things that I like about living in Hollister. They aren't in any particular order and I might not do this feature every day. Just so you know.

But, today: One of the things that I like about living in Hollister are the trees on Monterey Street. 

By the way, we don't ride our bicycles on the sidewalk. The husband is just patiently waiting for me to finish the click-with-the-camera thing.

Rock Faces in Tres Pinos

Double click on the photo for a larger view.

Leaning out the car window, I very quickly clicked a photo of the hillside at the northwest entry (or exit) to Tres Pinos. This outcrop of rocks fascinates me for no good reason. Look closely and you can see a bunch of figures and faces. Remember Medusa?

Go, Balers!

The Bertuccio's Fruit Stand at the corner of Highway 25 (Airline Highway) and Union Road is where I saw this sign. There are probably other places where you can buy the discount card. Contact the San Benito High School Athletic Department to find out where. Go to this link of the Athletics Department for contact info. You'll also find the Baler football schedule, as well as other sports schedules.

By the way: the Balers play against Oak Grove tonight at the Andy Hardin Football Field. The JVs play at 5 p.m, while the Varsity team plays at 7:30 p.m.

Also, by the way: if you shop at Bertuccio's on Sunday, and you say Haybaler Athletics, the store will donate 10% of your purchase to the athletic department.

Taco Truck on the Go

"Stop!"

It was a good thing no one was behind us when I requested the husband to stop suddenly just as he turned onto Prescott Road from whatever road we were on as we wandered through San Juan Valley.

The taco truck was too cute not to take a photo of it.

Onion Leftovers

The other day I posted a photo of an apple orchard in San Juan Valley. Across from it was this onion field, the crop already harvested. For whatever reasons, these onions didn't make the truck.

Agriculture is the number one industry in San Benito County. According to the 2010 Annual Crop Report of San Benito County, 23,793 tons of bulb onions were produced in 2010, which valued nearly $6.7 million.
