Lots of barns nearby for the overflow inventory.

BTW, I remember planting those trees with my dad around 50 years ago. Good to see they're holding up to the Central Valley summers.

The location is pretty much smack dab in the middle of Madera, Chowchilla, and Firebaugh.

Chowchilla is famous for a school bus kidnapping, occured when I was 16 about 5 miles from that house. News reporters would stop by and ask to use our phone to call in their stories. Had to tell them it was ok, but they'd have to wait for Mrs. Vierra to get off the phone (we had a party line, she liked to call her friends for hours at a time).

Firebaugh is famous for being the hometown of Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. One of my brother-in-laws is good friends with the Allen family.

Madera is famous for, well, not much. People would ask where I grew up, I'd tell them Madera, they wouldn't know where it was. I'd reply, "for a good time, we'd go to Fresno."
