Steve and Fran Dall hosted me to a few days away from the ski slopes at their log home in the Williams Fork River Valley. I met Steve 40 years ago at the Clearfork Ski Area in Butler, Ohio. He was on the Ski Patrol and I was a lift operator on the beginner hill. Steve graduated from Ohio State the year after I moved to Colorado. I encouraged him to move to Colorado and he has never left. He met Fran in Summit County, married, and settled down in the quiet Williams Fork Valley about 25 miles north of Keystone.

5) The west portal of the 9.6 mile long Henderson Tunnel. I worked 3 years as an engineer on this tunnel between 1974 and 1976.
6) The Henderson Mill. Steve worked here during the construction phase of the mill and then transitioned to mill operations and worked for AMAX for about 17 years before starting his own excavating business.
