“live out your Indiana Jones dreams!”
Calico Early Man Site is located about 15 miles northeast of Barstow, California, off Interstate 15. From the Minneola Road exit, follow the signs north about two miles on graded dirt roads to the site. The history of this site dates back to 1942, when amateur archaeologists discovered what they believed to be primitive stone tools in this area. Fragments were embedded in the sediments of the shoreline of an ancient Pleistocene Era lake, called Lake Manix.
Wonderful little town!! Takes you back in time. Fun for kids and adults.
We didn't actually make it to the site. The road is all dirt with a bunch of rocks. Didn't want to risk it in an RV. Maybe in a Jeep you could make it!
