On one of my trips through the U.S. Southwest, I came across this image on a Desert back road.

I like the oxidized look to the sign as a contrast to the dry sandy desert.

. . . Earth laughs in flowers! Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wonder how man raids took place while they were on that route. Good find and a shot of it Doug.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
The history of what went on during those years would be so interesting, this is a good find Doug. tigs=^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
St.Louis to San Francisco!! Gracious. That is quite a trip, even by car...and they did it over rugged country! There must have been a fleet of stagecoaches for the trip to be semi-weekly.
It looks like their service was interrupted by the onset of the Civil War, since it only lasted 3 years, ending in 1861 (Bull Run). What a great image of a piece of history!

Such history just reading that plaque - that indeed is a very long route. Great detail and clarity
