Somebody jogged my recollection of hiking through an olive grove at Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park, which used to be somebody’s ranch till it got donated to the local regional parks district. A century-old stand of olive groves — still bearing fruit when I hiked there in October 2006 — remains at the park.

Here’s a picture of it.

Seems like I’ve hiked through all sorts of old orchards over the years but of course none spring to mind at the moment. So, what of it, folks, do you recall any? I’ll dig through my old posts and see what else I can come up with.
