Why this spot
1867-1890 Camino Real stage stop and well ranch
An old paraje on the Camino Real where Capt. John Martin set up a ranch in 1867 and dug the first well in the Jornada del Muerto, selling water to travelers. It served as a stagecoach stop with a small hotel and a post office from 1869 to 1890 before being absorbed into the Bar Cross Ranch.View source →
