...all the features in close proximity to the cement-lined trench were associated with the artillery range. There were devices to raise and lower targets, and probably trenches to shoot from. In addition, there were some features from the homesteading period before the Park boundary was surveyed in (YNP established 1872, but homesteading and mining were occurring in the late 1860's). There are several cabin foundations on the bench from unsuccessful attempts. A number of juniper remains on this surface are part of Dr. King's climate study (so don't look too close, or you'll see evidence of his sampling). While looking at some of the study trees and remains, I wondered about a possible construct, maybe a dam?, located at the mouth of one of the gullies south of the Rescue Creek trail.
