Notes
The State Plaque is easy to find in a rest area. The well is more difficult. You need to take CA-98 West to Hocker Drive. Turn right (North) onto Hocker Drive. The directions on Google maps show that at a certain point you need to park and hike the rest of the way to the well. If you have 4 wheel drive, you can drive all the way to the well. Dune Buggys and ATVs have left trails to follow. See picture of map below.
