I can believe that !!

What an interesting place !!

What took you down there, Ken? I'm glad you got the rain. Couldn't help but notice some planes in one of your pics and wondered if any of them were fabric.

Would that have been the wolf creek fire? I am trying to remember what year that was. There were 2 fires that joined and burned a huge area and smoke it seemed forever!

It could be. I remember days when it was questionable whether they would let us into the mine depending on which way the wind was blowing. I have pictures here somewhere I took of the fires from the mine road. The quality of the pics are poor because I waited too long before I had the film developed. I'll try to dig them out and post them up. They lost a lot of acreage that summer.

Possible there were some private aircraft in the area just rubber-necking. Those could certainly be rag airplanes but DNR doesn't use any as far as I know.
Mostly an Aero-commander for recon and admin. All the jump ships are metal as are the choppers and tankers of course


The superintendent at FT Knox was the son of a friend of mine. He took us through. Plus I am a freak about geology. The equipment is amazing !
