I have been out to the resort ruins (cannot possibly be mining related - far too elaborate) at the west end, and hiked all the trails out there. I have made my way to hidden valley by many different routes mainly from the South side. I must say 'Fat Mans Trap' - is by far the best name! I found the natural bridge myself and the CCC trail remnants there, why has the park decided to "forget it".<br /><br />Above hidden valley on the guadalupe ridgeline there is another great little narrow pass down through the rocks...<br /><br />I'd like to find the 'bedrock mortars' the grinding holes - any details on the location of these? are they in or above Hidden Valley?<br /><br />I'm also now intrigued to see whatever remains there are of the original CCC camps - I see the approx location on an old park map.<br /><br />Thanks for all your efforts - much appreciated <br /><br />AlanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746330794998092843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185188928601683802.post-23836529647448824612014-03-03T15:33:51.765-07:002014-03-03T15:33:51.765-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746330794998092843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185188928601683802.post-61103476587723644132008-06-18T18:40:00.000-07:002008-06-18T18:40:00.000-07:00There is an article in the Az.

It couldn't have been too much earlier than that, since the CCC first arrived only only 3 months prior to that.South Mountain Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09245805054155441472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185188928601683802.post-16831023637693043702008-06-18T17:41:00.000-07:002008-06-18T17:41:00.000-07:00What I meant to say was "you have a nice site here...What I meant to say was "you have a nice site here." I think you're doing a useful thing by helping document the history of the park and by sharing it with the world.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05980508376512022350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185188928601683802.post-89384898690944524882008-06-18T17:40:00.000-07:002008-06-18T17:40:00.000-07:00Hi South Mountain Richard!

You're more than welcome to post the address for you blog there - it's a nice site and the prospects for lots of CCC information are very strong. I'm hoping to put together a gathering of some sort to mark the anniversary of the arrival of the first CCC enrollees at South Mountain some time this fall. Please keep in touch.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05980508376512022350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185188928601683802.post-42983310379794876222008-06-18T17:20:00.000-07:002008-06-18T17:20:00.000-07:00What is the date of the orginal plans?What is the date of the orginal plans?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
