Default Re: Elmer\'s Trip To California

Thanks for sharing the pics. Way cool. To Respond to Crossover's post #7, there seems to be a couple of references to "Topek" and "Colorado River" on the net, but they are dead ends. They seem to be linked to Ft. Irwin. Assuming the pictures are in order, and assuming you arre unfamiliar with the area, Peach Springs is on the Hualapai (misspelled on the trading post sign in the pic) Reservation in northern AZ. It's where the new sky deck over the west Grand Canyon is located. You could follow a path from there to Needles along the lower Colorado.

Also, at the turn of the last century there was a Topeka Iron Works that built bridges. If they built it there might have been a name plaque on the bridge in which the letter "a" was missing.
