Allensworth State Park is off Highway 43 in California's Great Valley, half way between Wasco and Corcoran. It is also not far off the tracks taking people and freight up and down the state. (This information is relevant only to those who spend the night in the spacious campground.) Colonel Allensworth, a naval officer and a Baptist minister, and founder of the town, was killed by a motorcycle as he stepped off of a bus. His town foundered for lack of water. Houses reconstructed from the town that was then are now separated by many flat spaces, as if distance made absent neighbors better.
