<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>I've been lurking, but
enjoy everyone genealogy tales.. You learn a lot about the state history by
listening... Anyway since we're mentioning the trail and ruts, (by the way I
liked that picture from Baker City... Great learning center there...) I am
reminded when I was working on the Diamond Lake Ranger District (it's near
Crater lake) of working on a thinning project and finding trail blazes.
Our anthropologist said she would look into what they may have been but I never
heard if they were from the Oregon Trail or something different. (To
reassure everyone those trees were not taken and were protected with a buffer
zone...)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face="Comic Sans MS" size=2> If anyone knows the
area, HWY 138 east runs through that area, do you know if that was a younger
trail then the rush of the 1830 and 40s or about that time frame? I lived
up there for 22 years and I don't ever remember hearing about that sort of
stuff.</FONT></DIV>
