Literature Cited 		   When I first read the field notes of Annie Alexander and Louise Kellogg, I was fascinated by the descriptions they wrote about the places they went and the plants and animals they found there. By publishing my field notes on the Internet I hope to follow a little bit in their tradition.

Locations: North Table Mountain. Tramway Quarry.  

  

May 2, 1914. At 4:00 a.m. Tuesday morning a few thousand tons of rock slumped several yards and covered up the access road at the Tramway Quarry [SE 1/4 sec. 22. T. 3 S., R. 70 W.] on North Table Mountain. Heavy snow and rain have softened the "clay and ash." The ditch company and the railroad experienced much trouble in previous years when great sections of hillside moved slowly down toward Clear Creek (VanHorn, 1972).
