Glad you found the area.

The trestle was for the water pipe from town, going back towards Black Diamond. There were a few mines above and below the cemetery that have since been sealed or collapsed. Housing was also along the former railroad grade, which is below the trail from the airshaft to the cemetery, can just barely make it out if you look over the side of the hill. We have the receipts from the contractor that installed it and for the actual wood pipe its self at the museum. Can still find some evidence of it, although nature has reclaimed most it, some of the metal pipes have been documented.

If you're ever interested, would be glad to show around some of the area and other sites. Just send me a message.

i wish residents of western washington could really care about the importance of this . The local tv stations need to get their environmental reports up in the air and validate the glacier's non existence. I wish I could get my next door neighbor to understand that it's not important for him to wash their 4 cars every weekend. But sadly we will continue to wash off sidewalks, let the water run while brushing our teeth and water super green grass in the summer.
