Temecula Old Town

If you live in Temecula and you want some manual yard work done, laying irrigation pipes for your sprinklers for instance, not a job for the faint hearted, the ground is baked hard and the temperature could easily be 100 degrees or more, go down to one end of “old town” you will see a group of Mexican’s standing, ask who could do the job, one will walk forward, agree a price and off you go, they make first class workers.

"Old Town" is where the tourists come to, many antique shops, how can you have antique shops in a young country? Shops selling "Indian" crafts, (should I say Native American) it is all neatly laid out, wooden buildings, wooden sidewalks, even wooden lamp posts, western diners and restaurants, bars and cafes, even the Greyhound coach stop.





While I have been living with John and Connie, I have been actively looking into mobile homes for sale, in class A,B,C or D, trailers, or 5th wheels, to get a look at what I might be able to afford is difficult, Temecula being an affluent city, the various vendors are only selling new ones, I am looking for one around eight to ten years old, it sounds old, but when you consider many are used for only a few vacations a year, wear and tear should not be a problem, nor rust, they don’t do rust in California.

All the time I have been staying with John, I have been most fortunate in having unlimited use of his work mate, Brian's old Dodge pickup, great for running around but not up to interstate driving, a bit worn and tired but legal.
