Historic Highway 99 on certain days of the week. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in the summer and fall you will find most all of them open. Should you have a burn- ing desire to purchase anything from one of the family run enterprises that are closed they may open for you upon request, particularly if you phone ahead. For this reason local phone numbers in the 530 area code are provided. You may wish to start a journey with some hearty grub at the M&M Ranch House (527- 1420) at 645 Antelope Blvd., open daily except Mondays. This well dec- orated restaurant has a nice family feel where one can enjoy a chat with those sitting across from or next to them, and be waited upon by professional servers. Typically Julia Fruit Stand has an extensive array of local produce in season. Above all the food is first class with an excellent fresh salad and soup bar and steaks that melt in your mouth. The burgers are huge and are cooked to order, their criss-cut fries are a favorite, and the ribs are so tender you can eat them with a fork. Although alcohol is served this place is very family friendly and shares the old west motif Frontier Village with a gift shop, gun shop, drive thru coffee stand, and other retail and service offerings. Using M&M Ranch House as Tehama Trail milepost zero [TT- 0] on this trip, turn right onto Antelope Blvd and about a mile down the road you will see A&R Meats and Two-Buds BBQ [TT-1.1]. A&R Meats is local purveyor of fresh custom cut retail meats and produce. Two-Buds BBQ is about 200 yards further along where veteran grill-masters Steve Joiner and Adam Parkinson offer home- trees just off the shoulders where you also see vast orchards of prunes, chandler or black walnuts, almonds, pistachios, peaches, oranges, olives, and other fruits and nuts. Your first chance to sam- ple same is an organic peach stand (TT-2.6), immediately after which you may want to take a two mile detour by turning left on Cone Grove Road to visit Cone Grove Park. Antelope Creek runs along the west boundary of the park and mature trees provide abun- dant shade. A playground is situated on the east side of the park near ADAcompliant parking, picnic areas and restrooms. About a mile south of Cone Grove road those with agricultural interests may wish to stop at the Dairyville Nursery and Market (529-2546) [TT-3.5] to inquire about or purchase many of the local feed stocks and agricultural products. Everyone with a sweet tooth made jerky, barbecue chicken, ribs, tri-tip beef and BBQ beans. Between these two establishments all carnivores will be sure to find meat that can't be beat! Very soon as Highway 99E bends to the south you will find the Park of Study and Reflection-Red Bluff (TT-1.2) on your right, dedicated to the study and reflection of Human Beings and their evolutionary possibilities toward a nonviolent world free of discrimina- tion. This is one of twen- ty such parks of similar intent on five continents when one passes through the gate, one enters a dif- ferent time and space from that of daily life to bring about a change in one's internal state. As you continue south on the smooth two lane highway you travel between old growth oak May, 2012, Tehama - the Magazine 9
