Our road-trip picnic food was pretty dull, but the fruit dessert was fabulous. Between our table and the red rock wall was an orchard of apple trees. The park maintains a couple thousand or more, fruit trees that were once part of a family farm. We didn't wander far enough to find the pear, plum, apricot, peach or cherry trees. But the apples were ripe and a big red "U-PICK" sign gave us instructions! |
There was a scale and a handy picking tool resting nearby. We were invited to take fruit home for a dollar a pound... or eat in the park, for free!
