Geez, Ronnie!!! That was 54 years ago. I'm thinking it was south of Highway 30.
We were all over the place, but mostly some distance north (where they were
not) in the Red Desert. As I recall the airport is south of the highway at Rock
Springs, and I think one may have been west of the town but south of the
highway, toward the Unintas (on the flight path to Salt Lake City). What
airport were they flying into at Slat Lake City? There may have been another
one between Rawlins and Rock Springs, possibly just north of Hwy 30. But I am
not at all sure. If there was one between Rawlins and Rock Springs, it would
have been fairly close to the highway - either north or south. Most likely gone
by now. I checked with my buddy Al Zimer, and he reminded me that my memory is
so good that it could have been somewhere NE of Laramie to the west of the
mountains.
There is a caver-pilot living in Saratoga who flys all along that route, so you
might contact him. David Worthington. <[email protected]>.
David is a good friend who has traveled with us to the Balkans and China, and
helped build the addition to our squat in Terlingua. He's been down there
(South Brewster) numerous times. You can tell him you chopped up my best, brand
new, and barely afforded, Illiad Paddle killing a gar on one of our Lower
Canyons trips in my C-2. Send him the original e-mail with the images and try
to recruit him to assist your brother. I think he could be game.
Have your brother talk to the County Surveyor. That's the best bet I can think
of.
Let me know the results of your effort.
Dwight

Hi Dwight,
Do you remember if they were north of I-80 and/or the railroad? Any other road
names, etc. that you might recall? Wamsutter, Table Rock, Red Desert, etc?
I am trying to use Google Earth to locate one or more. My brother lives in Rock
Springs and I will also try to sic him on this search.
Any clues or other old rusty memories will be helpful.
Thanks!

I saw two of them back in 1959 in the Red Desert when I was working on a
seismograph crew out of Rawlins and Rock Springs, Wyo. None of us knew what
they were at first, but our landman figured it out.
