In 1957, the waterhole of San Francisquito on El Camino Real, where Junípero Serra rested in 1769. This spring is what gave the name to many landmarks from Gonzaga Bay south. Today, Highway 5 passes just east of it and Coco's Corner moved to the highway very near here! Photo from Howard Gulick.

I wonder what the coordinates are for the spring?

I have 2 conflicting sites:
29°33'9.80"N, 114°20'41.63"W
29°33'26.01"N, 114°20'50.83"W
both have water most of the time - but can be dry at times

2 more sites have sometimes water downstream in Arroyo Las Arrastras (Arroyo San Francisquito)
29°33'32.54"N, 114°20'53.98"W
29°33'44.12"N, 114°20'57.52"W
