Above is a photo of a vineyard and the ranch house at the Rancho Santa Margarita taken in 1887. It was a time when farming and ranching were still the backbone of San Diego County’s economy. Come join me for my Oasis talk, “Ranchos in San Diego History,” on Friday, April 11, at 10 a.m. at the Oasis Rancho Bernardo Lifelong Learning Center. Go to the San Diego Oasis website, click on “Classes,” then type in “2351” to register. Hope to see you there!
