Pickett

Pickett was a Flag Stop located just west of Nunica. Flag Stops were designated locations were passengers could flag down the interurban. Flag stops are sort of like bus stops for the interurban. Generally at Flag stops there was either an Outhouse sized shack or a small wooden pavilion. Here is a picture of your typical flag stop: LINK If no one was there to flag the cars down they would pass by the stop. This stop in particular was located on John Pickett's land. It was located across the tracks (now Apple Ave.) from the cache location.
