Hi again -

The first time I drove through there was 1965 or '66, so I can't say for sure when the depot was destroyed -
but I'm VERY sure that my first 'trip' over Lizard Head Pass was during a very rainy day in late September
- witchever year it was - and the memories of nearly being embalmed in the mud are VERY vivid!! My '64
Triumph TR-4 left 3/4 of its exhaust system on Cinnamon Pass, but Lizard Head was FAR more hazardous
in them thar days!

- Russo
