out in the rain. In those days the road was
traveled by many seeking homes and gold In the
West.
In the spring of 1882. 30 wagons went through
the gate In one party. The travelers had left
Kansas because of the grasshopper plague,
and were without money or supplies. ,t had
been three-days since they had tasted bread
or wheat flour. A large meat platter and a quilt
were taken for toll. It was this party that lost
an iron tire while camped at Summit Meadows,
and Billy Welch who was visiting Perry Vick­
ers, who operated the trading post at Summit
Meadows, found the iron tire, and ran two and
one half miles to Government Camp because
he knew the perils of the descent down Laurel
Hill without the iron rim.
The toll at the time was $2 per wagon and
$1 per saddle horse, but was raised when im ­
provements were made on the road. Spring
freshets destroyed much of the road and took
out the double bridges in 1883. It was seldom
that any one trid to beat the toll, and Mrs.
Thomas remembered that when one Tom Payne
rode by on his mule, high on the hillside, Me-
Gugin remarked that Tom was earning all he
sftveds
McGugin later built a shed on the rear of the
toll house, where he kept baled hay and store
supplies. Travelers were often allowed to sleep
in the shed.
The maple tree in front of the house still
stands at the entrance to the camp grounds
and as it has grown from a small sprig to a
beautiful shade tree, the surrounding country
has grown from wilderness to a beautiful rec­
reational center.
