20. On the right, you will see the Dutch Dorrance Adobe. Mile: 28.6 [34-52.82N] [116-37.51W]

      Dutch was the first settler and homesteader in this part of the valley. He originally had to walk to his place 6 miles from Highway 66. Dutch prospected and explored the surrounding mountains and had a fine collection of cavalry and Indian artifacts that he had collected in his wanderings. Almost completely self sufficient, he even grew his own grapes and made his own wine. Dutch played the banjo and mandolin at community dances of the 20's, 30's and 40's.

      From westbound Valley Center Rd., turn right (North) onto Newberry Rd. Mile: 30.7 [34-52.82N] [116-39.73W]
