The Milburn Pond

The San Joaquin River is viewable throughout parts of Fresno, such as from Nees and Palm, which provides parking and access to trails. But there’s always people there. However, there’s a unique view of it Millburn (near Herndon / Alluvial), which seems to be far less crowded, and to me, that makes it all the…

Me-N-Eds Coney Island in Fresno

What’s hilarious and pathetic…

That belongs in a museum!

I went wine tasting last Sunday, with Engelmann Cellars as one of the stops. The winery’s main building is indeed a cellar, with AC’s set at a cool 65. A winery is more than a place to go wine tasting or buy wines; Engelmann Cellars has a spacious outdoor field with plenty of shade, entertainment…
