SEATTLE, WA — August 5, 2007 — I hear the huge pit might become a landfill. I will verify as soon as I get back down to Nevada in fall. Thanks to those who sent old pictures this past year - I will get them posted this fall. -Pete June 1, 2005 No News Is Good News? RAWHIDE, NV — June 1, 2005 — For the heck of it, it is time to post an article that contains absolutely no news whatsoever. Nothing's changed, and it's highly unlikely that anything's going to change anytime soon. The sign on Highway 50 pointing the way to Rawhide stays up. This website stays up. And all's well... :) November 2, 2001 Location Decision Reached RAWHIDE, NV — November 2, 2001 — The location for the Rawhide Display Structure has been decided upon today. A gentle sloped hill, locally known as "Purple Hill" on the northwestern side of Rawhide, and where the infamous Stingaree Gulch once ended, is the ideal location for the structure. It has a vantage point high enough to see the entire site from the north end of the original Nevada Street, to National Mill Hill on the south end. At its northern base adjacent to the county pipeline road, there is a very wide and nearly level area for parking. It is an easy walk up to the vantage point from the base. July 27, 2001 Kennecott Minerals Pledge Full Support RAWHIDE, NV — July 27, 2001 — As part of their ongoing land reclamation work activities, Kennecott Minerals has pledged their full support of the proposed "Rawhide Display Structure", a project that will serve as an educational vehicle for modern-day mining, Nevada history, and land reclamation management. "I want to extend a huge word of thanks to Kevin Hegerle of Kennecott Minerals for his interest and commitment. I think this is an exciting and rewarding opportunity for all concerned," said Pete Lyons, Volunteer Coordinator. "At long last, there will be a place for people to come and satisfy their curiousity about the Rawhide area. And this a fantastic tribute to Anna Rechel, the longest and last resident of the town. I want people to know her story and the environment in which she somehow managed to thrive. It is also a great way to show the positive aspects of Kennecott's innovative presence in the area."
