NEARLY A TREASURE... AT LEAST A TREASURED LOCATION
We had three surveyors at the Lonetree Ranch yesterday "rediscovering" Castello Point. There may have been that much attention given in 1925 when a bronze disc was set in a concrete base . That was placed there by the US Coast and Geodetic Survey. The original stone is also present and is engraved with the letters USGS. It was one of 18 triangulation points that was used to to map the Black Hills in the late 19th century. Many campers have been to this historic locale and it was quite rewarding to our "grown up" guests to find the markers in such pristine condition. Jerry, LInda and John... It was a pleasure having you and thank you for sharing your insight into Castello Point.
