New Year. New Decade. Garlic!

The New Year was greeted while boondocking at the Paso Robles Airport.

What a spectacular welcoming the new decade's first sunrise gave us. It was then on to Gilroy and some of its world famous garlic, "The spice that put Gilroy on the map."
Commercial cultivation of garlic in Gilroy began in 1929, with the arrival of Kiyoshi Hirasaki from Japan, who raised and marketed garlic alongside other vegetables. Within a decade Hirasaki converted all his land to garlic production, and by the 1940s ran the largest commercial garlic farm in the United States. Gilroy was on its way to earning its title as “The Garlic Capital of the World.”
Shopping for garlic fun was a must before continuing north.
"Gilroy is the only town I know where you can marinate a steak
by hanging it on the clothesline."
