Darren:

Good to hear. The last time I came over that pass [circa 67] I had

to use the winch to remove boulders. Things change. ;<)) The

wife had two hours to sketch the mill because we broke the

transfer case linkage on a rock. While usually helpful, she had

learned enough 4 letter words in such situations and left to

sketch while I jerry-rigged the thing so we could get home. :<)))

Carl:

If it is the place that I am thinking of, you don't want to go in the

way I did. I came from Crested Butte; I remember water flowing

in one door of the Jeep and out the other; definitely 4x4. As I

recall, it is easier the other way. I pulled out some of my ol' 7.5

min maps. It was rt 133 from Carbondale in Pitkin County; just

into Gunnison County you turn onto the road to Marble [use of the

word road at that time was questionable]. The mill is beyond

that. Of course I haven't lived in Colorado for over 30 years so

everything I say could be outdated.

Deja, Deja, Deja:

I remember a large water color that my wife painted many

decades ago when we lived in Colorado. It is in storage now but

hung on the walls for years. It is identical to this photograph [as

near as a water color can be identical to a photo]. As I recall, it

was a place just across the pass from Crested Butte; not far

from Marble. Is this the place or is it somewhere else in

Colorado?
