Freeman's Stage Station/Robber's Roost, revisited.

 After his stage station was robbed by Tiburcio Vasquez and his gang, Freeman Raymond found the remains of a campsite near the rock formation shown in the distance.  Vasquez' gang is thought to have observed Freeman's station from there, while planning the robbery.  Hence, the site is known as "Robber's Roost."  The author's Jeep Cherokee is parked in the foreground.  Photograph by Scott Schwartz.

This rusting pipe, which brought water to the station from the spring at Coyote Holes, is all that remains of Freeman's Station today.  Photograph by Scott Schwartz.
