We ride out to the Poppy Reserve regularly, today's results (04/06/2024). There are a lot of tourist bus patrons and folk who came from far who are sorely disappointed. With yesterday's rain/hail/snow and high 30's temperatures at 9:00 this morning what few poppies that are here, were in hiding. Temps are supposed to get into high 70's low 80's this week and hold about there for a bit. So I would put off a visit for at least til next weekend, if not two weeks. besides, by then I may have better news. Although even if you come up here, some of the better fields are actually a couple miles before you get to the reserve - around the Munz Ranch Road juncture... they should be having the honey sale stands out there too...
