For Kelly Smith, one wrong turn
couldn’t have ended up being more right.
Somewhere between Orange County and Temecula, Kelly Smith took a wrong turn that changed her life forever. It was the weekend and as usual she and her husband, Steve, had been enjoying a long, relaxing ride on their Harleys. As they turned down a winding dirt road, they began noticing a change in their surroundings. Expansive views of the mountainside gave way to quaint farms and ranches, some with lush groves of citrus and avocado trees, others with horses quietly grazing. As captivated as they were by the sights it wasn’t until Kelly and Steve tried to get back to a main road that they discovered they made a wrong turn somewhere along the way. Although they were lost, this didn’t deter Kelly’s enchantment of the area’s simple beauty, wide-open spaces and peaceful atmosphere.
A Right Turn
In fact, Kelly fell so in love with La Cresta and the Santa Rosa Plateau that she and Steve came back and bought a house on 20 acres the very next week. Right from the start, this native Texan and country girl at heart says it felt like home. Kelly has since purchased additional land, not only to farm avocados as well as every other type of fruit imaginable, but also to gain the experience of building a custom home and doing diffi cult parcel splits. She loves the rural feel of the area and the down-home friendliness of this community and its people. Kelly still marvels at stumbling on this ‘diamond in the rough’ and how one wrong turn can make everything so right.

The Road Ahead
It was Kelly’s curious and thoughtful nature that inspired her to leave her small town roots and explore. After earning her degree from Southern Methodist University, this respected professional set out for Southern California. Over the next 20 years, she pursued a highly successful career in corporate sales. Kelly also became actively involved as a mentor with the Olive Crest Foundation, a non-profi t organization dedicated to helping abused children. Combining her passion for riding motorcycles with her volunteer efforts led Kelly to co-chair the annual Olive Crest Cruise 4 Kids fundraising ride—a role that ultimately earned her the Ambassador to the Children Award.
