Jackye, Wilda, Mary and I headed for Bagdad. Past Thompson Ranch they had considered buying. All rocky and very far from any place. Flowers everywhere. At one stop had Primrose, penstemon, Indian paintbrush, desert Zinnia, Desert Marigold, brittlebush, desert Holly, creosote bush, Chipa ppppies, lupines, Desert Star, Hedgehog Cactus, Etc. Have identified about 60 kinds. Had lunch at the Copper Company restaurant. Kent’s company built all the houses with red roofs- the company rents them to the workers.
