In 1772, Don Pedro Fages, leaving the first written record of explorations in
the southern San Joaquin Valley, passed this site, traveling from San Diego to San Luis Obispo
via Cajon Pass, Mojave Desert, Hughes Lake, Antelope Valley, Tejon Pass, Canada de Las
Uvas (Grapevine Canyon), and Buena Vista Lake.
Nothing remains of this site.
