Yankee Girl: Protected!

Anne and I were priveleged to attend this signing ceremony, as a result of which the Yankee Girl headframe is now protected by the state as an historical site. Many local folks in Ouray, Montrose and beyond spent lots of time (and money!) in this effort to save the property from developers who would have demolished the structures. Man, it's good when things work out this way.
