This slide has been punch-stamped with the development date of Sept. 1983. The date that the image was captured on was likely very close to this.
Comments & Discussion
This sign took the place of a larger, brown wooden sign that was erected by the US Forest Service in this location on the Continental Divide.
This sign would be replaced by 1985 when a similar sign took its place. The next sign would be almost identical, but the wooden posts holding it up would be noticeably different.
Condition, Aging & Authenticity: The slide has not been cleaned prior to scanning the current version. There is no discoloration of the cardboard slide mount. The punch-stamped date impression is fading but clearly legible.
