These two old gas stations are across from each other on Hwy 198 Southwest of Sequoia National Park in Lemon Cove, California. I slammed on the brakes when I saw that Richfield! I believe the station across the road had the faded and chipped lettering for Standard and Atlas.

JIM , YOU ARE A LITTLE MORE MILD THAN I AM, I WOULD HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD!!! LOL!

The one across the street had a Texaco pole sign there on the corner for years, Jim did you come through here? The Richfield station was for sale awhile back I called on it and asking 110.000 for it
