Delayed Resort Openings, World Cup Reminders, 1968 Wolf Creek Kodachrome & Mtn Shuttle Deals
Not in that exact order, but pretty close. The history part will always come first in this newsletter.
A set of three Kodachrome slides from Wolf Creek Pass in 1968 was cataloged into the Coloradotopia Archives Collection this week.
The red paint splatter that is seen on the sign is not visible in earlier slides from June of the same year. These slides were added to the collection primarily to help date other images. Details like the weathering of the plaque can be used to do this as well.
See the full collection of Wolf Creek Continental Divide sign images here.
