I can't remember if they recovered but on return visits to the Valley as an adult I remember thinking that the palm trees weren't as numerous as they used to be.Rat Trap Presshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123315525301010775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-89049720698500095782011-05-31T16:24:35.383-05:002011-05-31T16:24:35.383-05:00I agree with Richard (OF).
