This picture was sent in by MM. He writes: "Bonnie Springs Ranch was originally built in 1843 as a stopover for the
wagon trains going to California down the Old Spanish Trail. In 1846,
General Fremont, on his way to California, stopped at what is now Bonnie
Springs Ranch to gear up for his trip through Death Valley. Since 1952, the
ranch has been used as a tourist attraction. Often called "an oasis in the
desert", where you can stop for a cool drink of spring water." |
