I volunteer as a gandy dancer around the Como roundhouse while living in Arapahoe County. I get to view a beautiful dry-stack wall on the north side of Kenosha Pass above Webster, as I drive home from Como, which piqued my interest. Who built it? How did they build it so well that 140 years later it is intact, functional and beautiful? The Denver and South Park Construction and Land Co. built the road, and equipped it, but did they hire the “wallers” or was it on-the-job training? I've got questions. Lots of Qs. Is there an expert on this forum on dry-stack walls?
