INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />The Twin Lakes and Sugarloaf Reservoir sites are the two <br /> <br />most nDrtherly sites of the Gunnison-Arkansas Project. The field <br /> <br />investigation of these two sites was carried out in conjunction with <br /> <br />the Pando and Ruedi sites of the Blue-South Platte troject during the <br />week of September 22, 1947. The four sites are related to each other <br /> <br />insofar as recreation planning is concerned. However, the Pando and <br /> <br />Ruedi sites are covered in the Reconnaissance Report for the Blue- <br /> <br />South Platte Project. <br /> <br />II. SUi'i!:ARY of FINDINGS.
