The ruins you see along the loneliest highway in America was the first house built by Willard Gates along the Carson Trail which shaved about 280 miles off the California Trail as it crossed the Sierras. Back in the day emigrants would stop here to water down there horses, rest, dine and even relieve carriage drivers. This station became part of the Overland Route and Pony Express for the sole purpose of providing mail service to the local towns in the region. When Bert Haws took it over it remained operable into the 1870s perhaps later and today these volcanic stone ruins crumble as the elements of time weather what once was one of the first stone structures built on this emigrant route. When the transcontinental railroad came through the region their was no longer a use for such stage stations and well not much has changed as the train still passes by here every day only to be forgotten of what shaped the wild west.
