My campsite overlooking Murrieta.

“When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor.  It’s to enjoy each step along the way.” – Wayne Dyer

After spending a week in nature, I then spend another week using a great library and researching how I can start to make some money as I travel.  This was in the small city of Murrieta.

Murrieta: ‘A Great Place to Grow.’

This city is on the up and up and I can see why.  It is located right in the valley.  Mountains all around make this a beautiful place.  I stick near the Old Town section that has a three block business district.  

Interesting Facts of Murrieta:

*Second Safest City in the USA (according to Cara, an assistant librarian; Wikipedia labels it as 44th)

*Not named after Joaquin Murrieta, a bandit, whom the character, Zoro was based on.  Two ladies at a yard sale told me thought this was where Murrieta got it’s name.  In fact, it was actually named after Esequial Murrieta, a sheep farmer, whom first bought the land.

*The nearby hills are good for growing wine, avocados, and oranges.
