PAGE 1 OF THE JULY 1992 ISSUE OF PASS PATROL CAMPFIRE TALES
Keep in mind, the stories here were written in 1992.  A lot has changed.
This issue was recovered by Mike Behn, AKA: Caveman

This issue includes

Turret, Sherman, and Treasure Mtn Mine

 

ANOTHER OF THE MANY ADVENTURES OF PASS PATROL

In 1992, Campfire Tales was called Trail Scout Report. In this issue, photos were on the cover only.  I included other photos for this on-line recovery to add color to it.

TURRET

“Where we going, Outlaw?” Blue Moon asked as he tossed his tent into his Bronco.

“Turret,” I answered.  “It’s an old ghost town near Salida.”

“Count me in,” Shutterbug announced while trying to get his dog into the Toyota.

“Me too.” Texin yelled from across the camping area.

The others, Caveman, Jetman, Rino, and Dirty Dan were still tired from the fourteen hour day of 4Wheeling the day before.  “We’re gonna go home.”

We pulled out of camp, at the crest of Medano Pass, on Sunday morning and charged down the mountain toward Westcliffe.  Our Saturday had been spent in the Sand Dunes and in crawling up the rocky (VDL) trail to Blanca Peak.  This day would be a day of rest.  Easy trails, slow pace, great scenery, and the remains of a ghost town called, Turret.
