This is the "sand lot" that was across the road from Richardsons' house.
You can see the water tower, and Earl Hutchins' grocery in the background.
It was originally the settling pond for the Lucky Bill mill.
The mill was straight south of it, and the mine, south of that.
Someone started up a gouge back there, in the '50s.
The huge chat pile that shows in the panoramas was gone by the '50s.
Remember when a carnival set up over there???
