5-14-11 - We had a great time at the Schnepf Farms Peach farm way across the valley East of Queen Creek. They have a 300 acre farm that raises lots of veg's but their big crop is peaches. This past weekend was their annual Peach Festival. When we got there people were everywhere. There is lots to do. Lots off vendors were there selling their wares, fresh Peach Pie but the line was too long so we didn't get any.
We did go out on a hay wagon ride to get close to the peach orchards. The first field we were at there wasn't much fruit. Then we found another field and the peaches were just great. So after picking about 10 lbs. at $1.90 per pound we called it good. The peaches are very good tasting and we have lots to eat.
I forgot about our trip across the valley to the farm was in our Dune Buggy. It was a total of 75 miles one way to the farm. The Buggy ran just great with one problems but then on the way back can't say the same thing. We had stopped at MacDonald's just after leaving the farm for a cold drink and some Ice=Cream. Then we are on the road heading back and noticed that the gas pedal wasn't working right. The next thing we know the gas pedal is done and we aren't moving. So I get down under the steering wheel and get the gas pedal working. So we have gas again and the motor is running fine.
Then as we are ready to shift down into 2nd gear and turn into Happy Trails I push in the clutch pedal to shift and oops! the pedal stays down. We have problems, like a broken shift cable or something else. But we were in walking distance to our lot and towed the Buggy home with a Golf Cart.
Now our Buggy is in the shop to have the shifting problem taken care of. So should have it back by May 19th,
