"Horseshoe Bend"
The sidewalk you are standing on was built on the original highway grade referred to as a "Throughfare" in 1924, State Highway 47 in 1927, and State Highway 15 in 1930. Since horse powered equipment could not penetrate the mountain where the current highway travels, it necessitated taking the route of least resistance. Hence, the Gap between the mountains where the sidewalk traverses was chosen for the route as well as the Gap at the park entrance. This area is known as "horseshoe Bend". It arched in the form of a horseshoe from the park entrance gate through this area and then back around a deep water hole to align with the highway to Orienta. Conveniently, the waterhole provided a watering point for teams of horses and fishing entertainment for travelers. During the days of the Model T, it was a good source of radiator water after pulling the steep grade. This is a "log only" cache so bring something to write with.
