Geocache Description:

What's left of the old Desert Wells Stage Stop can be found three-quarters of a mile south of Ocotillo Road on the east side of Sossaman Road. It was described by the pioneers as a simple one room building about 10 foot square, constructed of rock with a mud and thatched roof.

The stage stop was a resting area and water stop for the horses used by the stage that came from Florence via Olberg and continued through the gap in the San Tan Mountains on to Mesa, Arizona.
