The site is <br />situated on the west side of Moody Gulch at the base of a west-trending ridge, <br />facing south into the junction of the gulch and an unnamed drainage. The near- <br />est water is a spring 200 m. east which fills a modern stocktank and a natural <br />pond. The elevation is 7320 ft. (2,231 m.). Vegetation observed at the site <br />includes sagebrush, thistle, aspen, serviceberry, Gamble's oak and grasses. <br />The site consists of four structures, all in poor repair. Features 1 <br />• <br />and 3 are built of logs. Feature 1 is a free-standing dwelling, and feature <br />3 is a semisubterranean dugout partially excavated into the hillside. Features <br />2 and 4, totally collapsed, are both made of milled lumber. Feature 2 is a <br />multiroom structure, possibly a dwelling, and feature 4 is a two-hole privy. <br />The site covers an area 30 by II2 m. Material culture observed includes <br />a galvanized iron cistern, assorted crockery sherds, broken window glass, and <br />a Clipper brand kerosene lantern. The site is relatively undisturbed, with <br />the exception of the presence of a jeep trail that passes in front of the lo- <br />cality. A modern stock pond lies 75 .m. to the west. <br />Diagnostic Artifacts: None. <br />evaluation: The historical significance should be determined by a trained <br />Colorado historian with adequate archival evidence available. <br /> <br />
