Hoo Boy, this keeps just getting better all the time!  

Forks of Creek, 1982  



Thanks to Harry Brunk and the Gazette articles I was exposed to the Clear Creek line just before my first US visit in '82.  Until then I had never heard of it, even though I'd read about the South Park and it appeared on the maps. We rented a car on the last day of the convention and headed up on my 1st Pilgrammage of Clear Creek.  Sheesh, driving on the wrong side of the road!!

Note the SectionHouse end C&S Bridge abutment and the rock retaining wall still visible on the opposite creekbank, not all was destroyed in the construction of the original Highway, but they did finish that job when they cemented over the Forks once and for all. {:(

Sorry about the picture quality, this print is in my Trip Album and is covered in a stuck down plastic sheet, and therefore is immovable.
