California Springs Water Truck

The California Springs water wagon.  The farm included at a separate location a plot of land with a constantly running spring on it.  Wagons on the Oregon Trail stopped there for water before taking out further west.  Water from the springs was taken to Ottawa and sold as drinking water.  Mike is sitting in the truck and Bonnie is standing.
