Instead of loose dirt, the soil becomes compacted and very hard. Perhaps because livestock grazing is incompatible with the type of soil and also with the arid climate which dries and compacts the ground in to a hard, impenetrable cake. While people celebrate Juana as a pioneer, people like her inadvertently brought a lot of destruction and extensive environmental disruption with them.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17183321869536781045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-59789431427829993402023-08-27T18:45:54.680-07:002023-08-27T18:45:54.680-07:00Did another ride around the Ojo de Agua de Figuero...Did another ride around the Ojo de Agua de Figueroa today and was able to hike to a spot on the hillside directly above where the spring would have flowed from https://www.strava.com/activities/9733978237Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17183321869536781045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-32176974181043116272023-08-26T19:13:40.573-07:002023-08-26T19:13:40.573-07:00Did a ride today around the area of the Ojo de Agu...Did a ride today around the area of the Ojo de Agua de Figueroa and took some pics.

Later all bodies in the cemetery were relocated outside the city. <b>The Columbarium survived but from 1934 to 1979 it was abandoned to raccoons and birds, mushrooms and fungus.</b>"</i>… what? no banana slugs…<br /><a href="https://noehill.com/sf/landmarks/sf209.asp" rel="nofollow">San Francisco Landmark #209 San Francisco Columbarium </a><br />interesting site for Santa Clara & beyond…<br /><a href="http://www.mountaincharlie1850.org/links.html" rel="nofollow">part of the larger site</a><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_Clampus_Vitus" rel="nofollow">wiki overview</a><br />a pathway to many other rabbit holes… like this:<br /><a href="http://www.siliconvalleylibrarian.com/" rel="nofollow">The Silicon Valley Librarian</a><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_Mountain_(California)" rel="nofollow">Lone Mountain, a.k.a.
