This compound was originally a Pacific Telephone & Telegraph repeater station. It was built in 1929 to amplify long distance calls transmitted on cables between Los Angeles and Bakersfield as part of the phone line to San Francisco. At the time the location was so remote that housing was provided for families of employees that operated the station. Quail Lake is visible in the distance.

This is part of a series of caches along the Old Ridge Route.

This cache was originally named "Old Ridge Route - Windmill View". I knew a little of the history of the location, and renamed it "Can You Hear Me Now" after verifying with some internet research. Sorry for any confusion the name change caused. --YJ

Hanging around the High Desert with Flaglady, enjoying the Tarot series and all the nearby caches. Thanks for making this such a fun day for us. Yes, we heard you loud and clear. We hit a new team record of 104 finds and zero, yes zero, DNF. That felt amazing

My guess is that the animal that was watching us was from Texas - a true Longhorn.
