We took a quick break at the Charles Sprauge Waypoint. Highway 6 was originally a stagecoach trail and the waypoint was where teams of horses were changed out. Later Highway 6 became a toll road and the waypoint was a toll stop. Local travelers became increasing frustrated with the tolls and eventually tore down the tollbooth. The tollbooth was nevr replaced. The waypoint is now a charming rest area with clean restrooms, picnic tables, and access to hiking trails.
