As of last August the parts were still visible. A group of us followed the grade and viewed the wreck site from above. Earl, that must have been some kind of climb from below. You're an animal! You know, like a mountain goat. "Whew"!
Anyone interested may want to contact the NRHS in Glenwood. They took the Grand Junction NRHS group out on the grade last year and had very detailed information of various points of interest that would have been otherwise missed by the uninformed.
Happy Thanksgiving,
