We will continue on HW 152 west to Mt. Madonna, we will make another stop here at the top. This will definitely be a Kodak moment. From here, on a clear day, you can see all the way to Santa Cruz. A few pictures, back in the cars and down the hill into Watsonville and the Gizdich Ranch. The Gizdich family has owned this 67 acre ranch since 1930, it is a family owned business that produces 14 varieties of apples, strawberries, raspberries, ollalieberries, blackberries, winter squash, and fresh apple juice. The fine folks at the ranch will have reserved parking waiting for us. Here we will enjoy the best fresh bake pies on the planet, plus there is also a gift shop, Antique Shop, pick-your-self area, and tours. Wow, I am almost out of breath, but I am not done yet.
