Change is inevitable...we all realize the fact. In geologic time, what is going on in Borrego doesn't even amount to the bat of a gnat's eyelid ( if gnats even have eyelids ). At one time, the valley was an oasis of green grape vines...acres and acres of them as evidenced by the sere fields of dark old wooden crosses in the nearby acres.
Those fields seemed , to us, like solemn reminders of how fleeting life is...in fact , the many " crosses " reminded us of a cemetery...which it really was, at least for grapes.
Now, another change is taking place...and it is HUGE! How long it will remain in place is anybody's guess. That, one day, it will also be replaced, is certain. In the meantime, a cleaner source of energy will be produced here. What surprises us is the vast size of the project. It seems HUGE!
On the other hand, I guess the earlier Borregans viewed the grape fields in the same way.
