I was unsure if you were among those no longer receiving e-mail notifications, and so you were among those that manually I re-subscribed.1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-30460430176740428962020-03-26T15:32:58.453-04:002020-03-26T15:32:58.453-04:00Thanks for the clarification about the "swimm...Thanks for the clarification about the "swimming pool", John.<br /><br />I received an email the other day asking me to "subscribe" to your blog if I want your posts coming to my email. Did you send the email, or did Blogger send it? I want to make sure that the email is legit before I click on it. (It probably IS okay?)<br /><br />Yeah, we're in uncertain times for sure. I don't think I'll be traveling much in the coming months, other than hiking locally. I'm sure you'll be doing that too. Be careful out there!One Day in Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908834658716123640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-43841009630675246122020-03-25T17:20:05.590-04:002020-03-25T17:20:05.590-04:00Hi Rita,

However, that notion was pushed aside once I discovered the old map and vintage newspaper article that are shown in this blog posting. Also, although not mentioned in my blog, there are two other factors that seem to lessen the possibility of it being a swimming pool: 1) the structure is about 0.3 mile from the old hotel; the terrain surrounding the structure is extremely steep.<br /><br />All the best,<br />John <br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-25705122499878030372020-03-24T17:27:09.824-04:002020-03-24T17:27:09.824-04:00Hi John,

Is it possible that the structure was a crude swimming pool which was filled with water diverted from the reservoirs? Just wondering.<br /><br />I'm glad that you found an unexpected "Part 2" to your wanderings because the photo taken from the logging cut of the Presidential Range is magnificent!<br /><br />Stay safe in this time of uncertainty.One Day in Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908834658716123640noreply@blogger.com
