NO. 188 BUTTERFIELD STAGE STATION
Registration Date: 6/20/1935

"Site of Butterfield Stage Station where mail was delivered and horses changed. The first stage carrying overland mail left Tipton, Missouri on September 15, 1858 and, passing through Temescal, arrived in Los Angeles October 7, 1858."


The trees you see in the picture by the red dot are now located in the center divider for Temescal Canyon Road, the red dot was about the location of the monument. The pictured road is now the southbound lane of Temescal Canyon Road. The driveway to the farm house had a rock marker monument with brass plate. I rode my bike by here many times before it was obliterated by development. I placed the cache as near as I could to the site, however, there is NO STOPPING on Temescal Canyon Road. Park as close as possible and enjoy a short walk.
