Later I realized it would have been much too far to drive to and I would not have really been happy there. I love the stagecoach days and interested to read about the stage lines going through and created towns. I love the stage stops that were built. Sometimes I wish towns would remain that way, but we have a lot of modern conveniences that I wouldn't trade. teshawATsbcglobalDOTnetTammie Edington Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008513349986164730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-747774473059998752020-07-25T21:30:50.520-04:002020-07-25T21:30:50.520-04:00Jennifer, Thank you for sharing this fascinating i...Jennifer, Thank you for sharing this fascinating information about Salinas.Caryl Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03446868830897710358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-50037415835869059252020-07-25T20:57:18.088-04:002020-07-25T20:57:18.088-04:00Hi Patty, Jennifer here.
