Back in 99 we made a trip up there the first week in July. It was cold up on top with the wind blowing. My oldest daughter, 2 years old at the time, was not a happy camper. It is a special place to visit though.
A shot of the office and some of the relaid rail.
The west portal. You can just see the very top of the stone work.
Remains of the enginehouse. Note the hoops and wood from the water tank in the corner.
