Location #2

This small loop is located on the west side of the freeway about 1/2 mile north of location #1. It was home to the La Vega Park, and a gas station and store that were built in the late 20's. The property is now owned by Les and Jill Alexander. Les was nice enough to drive with me and open up the gate to allow me to get these images. He also showed me exactly where the old gas station and store once stood on the property.

An old culvert.
View looking south. This is where the old La Vega store/station stood.
This small piece of foundation is about all that still remains.
Les said that this is the original well for the store/gas station.
