View of abandoned homestead and Quail Lake in the distance. Near
Intersection of 138 & the Old Ridge Route.
The abandoned wooden house and oil tank were originally owned by
the General Petroleum Quail Lake Pumping Station. Crude oil from
the oil fields in Taft was heated and pumped to Willow Springs
Pumping Station, which in turn moved the oil onward to Mojave.
This cache begins a series of caches along the Old Ridge Route.
The Old Ridge Route is closed in the middle just past the Tumble
Inn due to storm damage, so it is not possible to travel all the
way thru as you once could do. Still it is a pleasant place to get
away for the day and now you can get a fair amount of caches in the
process. It is anticipated that the Old Ridge Route will be
reopened to thru traffic in about a year, once again linking
Castaic to Quail Lake Valley.
