Budweiser Clydesdales and Temecula

In one of the handouts we were given by the park, they talked about the Budweiser Clydesdale Breeding Farm. It is close to the park and even though it isn't open to the public, you can see the horses in the fields. Well you know the love affair Bob has with Clydesdales, so on our way to Temecula we went to find the farm. It was an adventure to be sure as we jogged around over dirt roads (made worse by the recent rains) and finally found the fields. There was a place to pull over and we could go up to the fence. They are a curious lot and came right over to the fence. They are gorgeous animals and make the ground shake when they run.

Of course they are looking for a treat, but they settled for a pat and scratch.
Now what do you suppose that conversation is about!!!
We went back out to the freeway and headed south to Temecula. We had heard some things about the historic district. We had a hard time finding it. Bob is getting real good at doing U turns. We finally found it and it is several streets of lots of little shops. All made to look very old. Since my knee has been giving me problems, we elected to just drive around and look. Of course we had to take a photo of the Butterfield Square.
There is an archway over each entrance into the historic district.






Well I just had to share a picture of the dairy farm that is next to the RV park where we are staying. There are hundreds of holstein cows in here and we have been blessed? with the wonderful odor that emanates and permeates from their waste products... I can't imagine owning a home in one of the housing developments that surround this farm.
