Looks like we were both there in 2015, Rich -
And judging by the logs in the lower left of our photos, less than fifty feet apart:
The beginning of the cut barely shows at the far right of this one:
These have been posted before, but to save a search and a link here's what the unobstructed view from the top of that cut was like in 1968:
This going-away shot from August, 1968 is impossible today - the tops of the nearest two or three cars is all you would see above the aspen:
. . . Unless Paul Davenport and his crew have done a MASSIVE amount of tree cutting there, but I think they were much farther around the curve where you can look back and see the entrance to the powder cache. See Paul's recent post at [ngdiscussion.net], above.
