Cruise To The Flower Fields
at Carlsbad Ranch
This cruise was postponed from Sunday
April 19 to April 26 due to the fact that on
Saturday April 18 we cruised to the
Veterans Parade in Riverside, Ca. and that
would have been a little too much on some
of the club members that live far, far
away. I checked the weather report as I
always do and it basically said that it was
going to be a perfect April day at Carlsbad
Ranch in Carlsbad, Ca.
Our meeting place was in Ontario, Ca. and
arriving there I saw many Cruisers ready
for the cruise today. We waited a little bit
for another cruising’ club member and
then we left for our cruise. Maria &
Myrna both have GPS devices installed in
their cruisers so as we traveled we
exchanged conversation about where to
go. I had the directions from the Flower
Fields which told me how to get there by
only using the freeway system. Their GPS
can be accessed to provide the shortest
route or the fastest route to take but as we
cruised by way of the I-15 South, CA-78
West, and then the I-5 south towards San
Diego we reached our destination which
was approximately a little under 115 miles
one-way. We traveled about 230 miles.
When we arrived we were in
communication with our San Diego club
members Hollywood & Vine (Ken &
Barb) on the 2-way radios and they
directed us where to turn and park upon
exiting the I-5. We manage to stay
together amongst all of the zillions of cars
that were in the area, and luckily by
accident we missed the entrance and
turned into the shopping mall where the
parking lot was completely full, but
manage to find about 14 spaces empty at
the rear of the shopping mall that put us in
or about 600 feet from the Flower Field
entrance. Continue 

Talk about being lucky. A nice lady took
many photos of the group while directing
traffic both ways & holding our cameras.
That lady had style, a great personality
and very excited about this group.
I had previously arranged this cruise and
talked with the manager and asked if we
could get a discount but since they are
open only several months of the year they
said the only discount we could get was
$1.00. Our newest members Jim & Paula
Anderson brought Paula’s mother Doris
Kotwica and both Paula and Doris were
in wheel chairs being assisted by Jim and
Tommy Dorsey so the manager said they
(all four) did not have to pay the
admission fee. This again was another
plus for this cruise. A little ways past the
entrance they provide a tractor driven
wagon ride for viewing the beauty of the
Flower Fields. The wagon has a ramp for
loading all of the guests, and enables the
handicapped to enjoy the scenic ride. I
was amazed at what I saw and just could
not figure out which picture to take first
with all of the colors surrounding us as
we strolled through the fields.

The flower grown here is the
Tecolote Giant Ranunculus. Over
50 acres are devoted to raising the
ranunculus bulb crop. The
flowers die back and produce seed
for replanting in these same fields
for the next season. The goal is to
harvest approximately 200,000
bulbs per acre, so that would
mean they harvest about 6-8
million bulbs! The colors are
amazing and almost anyone who
has no training or practice with
photography will get the best
photos yet, even with the lowest
price camera. The word color
must have been discovered at the
Flower Fields. It is a beautiful
place.
Hollywood & Vine suggested a
Richie’s Diner in the city of
Temecula so he called ahead and
they reserved a very large back
room for the group where we
stayed about 2 ½ hours and
highlighted the luncheon
celebrating another one of the new
member’s birthday Mel Dickey.
Mel was clapping, cheering and
going about with the celebration
during lunch and really enjoying
himself along with his wife
Myrna. Happy Birthday Mel! So
another cruise ended on April 26
2009 and another day past, and it
just feels good to know that the
day was spent with good people
and ever lasting friendships that
will always remain a good
memory for all who were there.
In summary this cruise was a
great cruise and traveling down
the highway watching all those
people looking at how clean and
beautiful our pride & joy PT
Cruisers looked was worth getting
up on this special day and making
this trip to the Flower Fields at
Carlsbad.

sooner have they finished celebrating their
triumph, than their lab is destroyed and the
head of their team killed. Named as the main
suspects, Eddie and Lily quickly realize their
only hope lies with a powerful and
mysterious bureaucrat (Morgan Freeman)
who may or may not be on their side.

A DAY OF REMEMRANCE – MAY 25TH
Originally called Decoration Day after the Civil War (1861-186),
Memorial Day has been a day for Americans to remember those who lost
their lives in service of their country.
After the Civil War ended in 1865, the country was in disarray. Families
and lives were torn apart because of all of the fighting and destruction
that had occurred. It is believed that Memorial Day began when two
civil War veterans saw a woman and her two children decorate the grave
of a fallen soldier with flowers.
The two veterans were so moved that they decided to decorate more
graves with flowers. In 1868, General John A. Logan, commander-in-
chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, ordered that the 30th day of
May be designated for the purpose of decorating graves of those Union
and Confederate soldiers who died in the war.
General James Garfield spoke at the first national observance of
Memorial Day on May 30, 1868. For 100 years after that, Memorial Day
was celebrated as a day for remembering U.S. men and women who had
lost their lives or who were missing in all wars. The South refused to
acknowledge Decorations Day, honoring their dead on separate days
until after World War I.
Then in 1968, Memorial Day was officially changed to the last Monday
in May. That’s the way it has been ever since. This year, Memorial Day
will be celebrated on Monday, May 25th.
Memorial Day and Labor Day are bookend holidays, marking the
beginning and end of the summer holidays in the United States. These
three-day weekends traditionally are times for reflection, celebration, and
family outings. As you make plans for your upcoming three-day
weekend, take some time to reflect what it is we’re really celebrating, and
honor the men and women that have fought (or are still fighting) for our
freedom.
