<br />~ 141 <br />~` <br /> site: 5RT26 (Figs 1, 29). <br /> siee Type: Open architectural. <br /> rocation: NWl{NW;, Sec. 11, Ton, R86w; UTM Zone 13, E329,090m., N4,467,990m. <br /> Description: 5RT26 is an historic site consisting of a semisubterranean <br /> structure built of native sandstone blocks with a log super-structure. <br /> The site elevation is 7380 ft. (2,249 m.). Vegetation around the site <br /> includes serviceberry, sagebrush, grasses, 'and Gamble's oak. The nearest <br /> water is a seasonal drainage, roughly 300 m. to the north, which flows in- <br /> <br /> to Middle Creek. The site is situated on the west side of a north-trendiny <br /> ridge, on a slight slope. Cultural debris lncludes sheet metal roofiny, <br /> broken glass, an iron oven door, and other historic trash. The site is <br /> relatively undisturbed, although a powerline traverses within 100 m. of the <br /> <br />~ <br />• site. The structure itself, however, is in poor condition. <br />- <br />-~ Diagnostic Artifacts: None. <br /> evaluation: Lacking the expertise to evaluate 5RT26, we feel the site's <br /> potential historical significance should await archival search and analysis <br /> by a competent specialist in Colorado history. On the basis of our obser- <br /> vations we feel that the site does not qualify for nomination to the NRHP <br /> <br /> on architectural grounds. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />~~a <br />r~ <br />a~ <br />
