You are right. It is like right in the middle. It is all flat lands with corn fields. I saw more cows than horses though. We visit every few years as the inlaws have a farm out there. It is a nice change of pace vs. San Diego. One funny thing I did see was pig wrestling. It was serious business and with real betting going on. Little bit different activities but nothing but the nicest people there. Have you always lived in that cool tropical oasis? Where are you from originally?
