But,
even after second the toll-house was built, at least one clever cattleman found
a way to circumvent the toll. He simply
took his wagons through the toll gate, and drove his cattle through a canyon,
avoiding the $150 charge for the three thousand head of cattle that he was driving.
Given the ruggedness of the terrain, driving three thousand head of cattle around the toll-gate must have been quite a feat! Image by Scott Schwartz. All rights reserved.
