… because this summer I spent most of my time on my bike riding around the county. A lot of young people (my age) find this county distasteful (at times it’s easy to agree). This is why:
This county is mostly flat farmland at the southern end of a valley. The ‘flat-ness’ is slightly disturbed by oil pumping units and derricks, as well as aqueducts (pictured [aqueducts are manmade canals used to transport water for farmland]), and of course the cities located in the southern valley. The view of the fields and fresh produce grown there is pretty in its own way. However, the air quality is horrid (naturally because air pollutants are from the entire valley are blown southward), making this area not so pleasant; especially in the summer.BUT, there is another part of the local area that many people (especially the young and ignorant) don’t realize exists:
The county also contains thick tall pines. Tall mountains surround this valley on all sides; except the northern side. Here grows forests. Quite pretty, and much nicer to bike through. Too bad almost nobody realizes there's a forest near by...
Ironically the mountains contain the prettiest (in my opinion) area of the county, but also keep the smog and dust in the valley making it unpleasant. Kind of reminds me of people, who have qualities that make them amazing, yet are unhappy and horrid to be around because of those qualities.
Anyway, that’s why this silly blog has been neglected.
I also started working; in construction…concrete to be exact. (I’ll be starting college next semester)
And I just got home from Arizona
I’d like to make a new post and tell more about this interesting summer, but I’m going for a bike ride
