We bivouacked on a sand dune near Little Salt Spring, right. The team packs up at the Little Salt Spring camp with Pilot Peak in the background, above. A California Trail Auto Tour sign, top right, marks the road crossing of Hastings Cutoff toward Bidwell Pass. The pass is the slight dip in the hills to the right in the photo, and center in the photo, above. John Bidwell, for whom the pass was named, was with the first wagon train trying to get to California in 1841.
