This station/stop is the only divergence from the route taken by
Richard Burton, just the year before.  Orion's journal makes no
reference to this stop, instead he mentions arriving at Carson Sink and
then into Carson City, as did Burton.  Going to Ragtown from Carson
Sink Station makes no sense if the final destination was to be Carson
City.  Did he, perhaps, mention this site because it was "colorful" and
was significant to the Oregon Trail settlers.
