Unknown cement foundation at the camp along Rock Creek (6/1/01)

An old logger's boot was found on the east, or uphill side of the mainline. (6/1/01

Here are some intact paneling at on the west side of the mainline through camp. (6/1/01)

This pile of dishware was found downhill and towards the creek from the west side of the mainline
through the camp at Rock Creek. (6/1/01)

Here is a pile of broken cups at the camp at Rock Creek. There were other piles of tins that lay nearby
as well. (6/1/01)

Although difficult to see, this is the collapsed remains of the coal bunker at the camp along Rock Creek.
The bottom part of the posts were still in place, as was the coal that was left there. It is the black stuff
towards the back of the picture. This was on the east side of the mainline. (6/1/01)

Here is the only standing remains of the trestle across Rock Creek at the camp. These are on the
north side of the creek. (6/1/01)

Here are the same standing trestle remains on the north side of the creek. (6/1/01)

This obviously cut rail was found laying beside the grade about a couple dozen feet west of the trestle
across Rock Creek. (6/1/01)

I don't know exactly what this is, but it looks like a ventilation stack that would go on top of a camp car. It
was found on a section of grade that is intact on the north side of Rock Creek just before the first trestle
on that side of the creek from the Rock Creek trestle. (6/1/01)

These are some of the few pilings of the first trestle on the north side of Rock Creek that are still
standing. (6/1/01)

This piling is all that remains of the mainline along North Rock Creek Road about a mile west of the
junction with South Rock Creek. (6/1/01)

This appears to be a water tank for the steam locomotives. It was found on the switchback, or spur that
followed East Rock Creek Up its canyon. (6/1/01)

This cable has been in this tree for an obviously long time. (6/1/01)

These are ties that are still left in place up one of the spurs off of the secondary line that is now
Halfway Cabin Road. (6/18/01)

Piling still standing of the trestle near the beginning of the secondary line that is now Halfway Cabin
Road. (6/25/01)

Here are two pilings and one of the cross boards of the trestle that lies near the beginning of what is
now Halfway Cabin Road. (6/25/01)

This is the same shot as above at a different angle. (6/25/01)

This appears to be an old stove lying near what appears to be an old camp. I have only been there
once and didn't have enough time to look around that much. This is on one of the spurs off of what is
now Halfway Cabin Road. (6/25/01)
