Thanks for the look into the past. I've wondered about the road cut up there, reading the incredible accounts in "Colorado Rockhounding" and another book that I can't off the top of my head remember. Good to keep it in the family. Kudos.

You can say years and years, but you don't think about Prospectors that were there for you. A bit unfair.
