If this is in the vicinity of the "Calico Ghost Town", I used to be acquainted with a lady that grew up there. Her mother was a cook for a bunch of miner's when she was 15, and that was during the time a dog was used to deliver mail to the miners in the hills.

Yes, pretty much the same thing. You probably saw the sign on the hill from the USMC depot at Barstow?

My first job was at Calico in 1963. Worked as a guide at the "Haunted House" while going to high school in Barstow.

Calico, the ghost town, was moved to Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park, CA in the 1950's. Remnants of the old site can still be seen off I-15 north of Barstow and the marine depot at Yermo.
