    Thanks for that link! Those are amazing pics. I love the pic of the camp bird mine from so long ago. I've been to it while jeeping around Ouray.

    Many of the pics look like they could have been taken yesterday. Some, the clothing and hair styles really give away the timeframe.

    Real cool photos. Sometimes when I see those type of old pics., I feel I am living in the wrong time. One orange 1 cent. A grapefruit 5 cents.

    Thanks Steve for the step way back in time, great picture thumbsup01 thumbsup01

    I can remember my Dad telling me that when he was old enough he started hauling pulp wood. They hand loaded the trucks and then at the rail yard they hand unloaded the trucks and put the pulp wood into box cars. It was then that I understood why he had such large arms. lol
