“Arroyo Del Ajo” is the sixth cache in the Steinbeck series.
In 1936, John Steinbeck and his wife Carol moved from the Monterey Peninsula to Greenwood Lane about a mile north of the Town of Los Gatos. Here he purchased a secluded and quiet 1.6 acre lot and a house and named it “Arroyo Del Ajo” or “Garlic Gulch.” In this tranquil setting, he wrote some of his most famous works: Of Mice and Men, In Dubious Battle and, of course, the Grapes of Wrath. He made frequent trips from here to Kern County to do research on a series of articles called the “The Harvest Gypsies” which ultimately lead to the publication of Grapes.
Today, Greenwood Lane is a very expensive residential area. It is ironic that the magnum opus work of the poor and dispossessed was written in an area which now has so much wealth. An interesting bit of food for thought….
CONGRATS TO HALHAL FOR FTF!!!!!
