Why this spot
1870s-1900s stage station, later roadside stop
Freeman Raymond's stage station at the junction of the Walker Pass road and the Los Angeles road, serving traffic to Cerro Gordo, the Panamints and Bodie; Tiburcio Vasquez's gang robbed freighters and a stage here in 1874. The station ran until Raymond's death in 1909 and burned later; a 1920s homestead became a gas station and cafe that died by 1978.View source →
