I thought these belonged in their own thread. One of my favorite places ended up to be The China Date Ranch. Off of a side road not far from Tecopa hot springs lies the dirt, 1 lane through a canyon, curvy and once you get on it you can't stop road to The China Date Ranch. They make huge, date ice cream shakes as well as having many other diversions there. There is an actual date palm oasis and some homes where people live. There is a sign asking you to respect the privacy of the people who live there and not to go traipsing around their yards. I figured that also meant not taking photographs. But, there was plenty in the public realm. For one thing, they grow and sell agaves there!
