Re: Sanger Lumber Company & Converse Basin Exploration

When I visited Converse Basin I didn't seem to be able to line up the photos very well. Flipping this photo makes things align much better. I'll have to go back next year and take some more then and now photos..

Converse Basin has an incredible number of stumps:

Hiking up the 1 mile trail towards it we began to see remnants of a skid road:

The skid road is the "gully" cutting diagonally through the picture.

At the top of the ridge was another large stump here with Naomi on it for comparison:
