I love these old photos that still survive from the era I modeI. Here's famed U.P #119 on a trestle. Obviously they were posing for this photograph.

Details... I always like to have a story behind an area just to give it interest. "Old Geezer Falls" were named after a local. There was an old recluse miner that could always be seen panning around the falls. No one knew his real name and just called him "Old Geezer". In 1867 they found him lying dead at the bottom of the falls. Obviously he fell from the falls. The folks that found him buried him right where they found him, and ever since then the area has been known as "Old Geezer Falls".
