Dwight & Ronnie -- Since my email asking essentially the same questions was never answered, I am glad this was posted to the list and not privately. I am interested in running these things down in Wyoming, so if either of you (or anyone else!) comes up with something new, please let me know. In the meantime, I'll follow Dwight's suggestions, and Ronnie, if your brother finds out anything, please have him contact me. Thanks all! John Greer (archeologist etc) Casper [email protected]

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.

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!

None of us knew what they were at first, but our landman figured it out.
