All California State Parks must have either unique physical or historical assets. In 2000, the fate of this State Park hung partially on the question of whether physical traces of history could really be found here. The game-changing evidence was the piece of crumbling pipe in front of you. It was found one night by two amateur archaeologists.

Call to hear how they found the "Zanja Madre" and made the case for a historic park.
