OH80108 is a photograph by T.M. Schultze taken 2014 at Buckman Springs, California

Gravesite and Tombstone for Amos Buckman. Legend, true or not, has it that his grave was accidentally uncovered when Interstate 8 was being built in Buckman Springs in the 1970s, and this was then created for him. Many people photograph (and graffiti) his Bottling Plant and his home, even if they don’t know who Amos Buckman was, but few take the time to locate his tombstone. While not directly on Highway 80, it is very close and important to the history of the highway.
