May 13- Red's Roofing

Day 2: After getting the cyclists started down the road, we got ourselves together and started toward our next destination, about 100 miles south to Hanford. We were now in the land of California “happy cows.” Every few miles we would encounter a huge diary operation with milk cows penned up in fenced enclosures, standing on manure piles up to their ankles. All they do is stand around, eat and produce milk. No green pastures to roam in or flowers to smell as the commercials would have you believe. We are sure happy we started drinking only organic milk several months ago. Late in the afternoon we arrived at Red’s Roofing in the country outside of Hanford. Red and Marjorie Cooper are members of the Escapee RV Club that we have been members of since 1997. As do quite a few of Escapees, they have an RV site on property that is open for use by other Escapees free of charge.
Red proved to be a warm, welcoming and caring person who restored our faith in humanity. He lived on the family farm and he overwhelmed us with fresh strawberries, cherries picked right off his trees and fresh grapefruit for breakfast. To other Escapees, we would highly recommend that you stop by and see Red if you are in that area.
