Geocache Description:

Along the old Emigrant Trail paralleling CA Highway 4. Take the spur road just west of the cache site. There is a cul-du-sac to turn around for this historical park and grab.

According to Bear Valley resort (visit link) , after Harvey Blood established a toll station and service facilities on this spot, the area was known as Blood's Station at Bear Valley for over 40 years. Harvey's Daughter, Reba, became well known as she baked pies and brought them to the road workers in the area. They named a distant peak after her Mt. Reba, hence the original name of the ski area in the late 1960's. In 1910, the road ceased to be a toll road and became a free state road. Harvey Blood died in May 1910. For a number of years after his death, Louis Lombardi, his friend and Calaveras county cattleman, operated Blood's Station. Lombardi ran cattle in the Bear Valley area for 70 years. The Blood Family sold all of their holdings to the Bishop Mining and Cattle Company in 1920.
