Location of "Gents With Oxen"

We had several great guesses as to the location of the "Gents with Oxen" photo but the only one who got it on the nose (there was another near miss) was Tom Byer. Good call Tom!! He realized that the photo was taken at the start of Woodland Valley Road just past Romer Mt. Park (or "Simpson's" as he called it) and before what was once the site of Lou Hallenbeck's mill. Lou was Tom's grandfather. Tom also said that it might be Lou driving the oxen. Rolf thinks that Tom might be right. Thanks to everyone who participated in this bit of fun with history. Stayed tuned for other historic photos from Rolf's collection. I will put up another one in a few days.
