Went through the little Mexican town of Valdez and to a ranch 2 or 3 miles west of Arroyo Seco where we found potatoes, beets, cabbage & lettuce, & such green food that we were hungry for & also found fruit trees growing & learned something of the crops & climate as well as getting a list of valley birds & some good mammal notes.
