Three of the 1934 USC&GS disks we recovered in the Black Hills when searching for the USGS markers.

Very nice!!!

Speaking of Rochford...is the Moonshine Gulch Saloon still open?

We used to have lunch there quite often (BEER & Burgers) back in 1983.

Those are some neat recovers! I really like that protective manhole!

I don't recall seeing it, but we stayed on the trail while biking.

Jerry

You may (or may not) have missed a pretty good burger (and a cold beer). If I recall correctly, it is (was) the Brown Building w/redish roof in the upper left hand corner of photo No.4.

I actually ran a Gamma Ray Spectrometer line up that old Railroad grade (a mile or so up the canyon from Rochford).
