Claude Menendez, a young cowboy, wrote names in pencil for five Chinese co-workers, presumably after asking them to pronounce their names: Hop Kee, Yee Xahee Ching, Lee Tai Bong, Chow Juyan, Y. Wong.
      Since 1912 the area's grazing permit has been held by the Sanguinetti family.
      It is the destination of a 3.75 mile hike from the Coyote Meadows Horse Camp in the Stanislaus National Forest.
