Easy, flat walk. Almost a drive by. Less than 100 ft of walking
Joaquin Murieta was a murderous outlaw in the gold country during the gold rush. Starting in 1850, one by one he murdered the mob that killed his brother. Legend says that he gathered a gang of 50 men and robbed villagers, stole animals, burned houses, and robbed stagecoaches. He ranged from Marysville to San Gabriel. In July 1853 Texas Captain Harry Love and a posse of 20 found Murieta in Arroyo Cantua and killed him. Murieta was 22 years old. Love put Murieta's head in a jar to be displayed around the state and prove that Murieta was dead.
Directions to the Letterbox:
Interstate I-5 to Hwy 198
Turn West toward Coalinga on Hwy 198 go about 4 miles to the Historical Marker on the North side of the road.
