This is a new one. It gives more detail on the history of the area. Even tells how they got the bathtub up to the Chalet. Thanks to Rod for sending it to me. It was of such poor quality, I could not use my optical scanner to convert to html code. Had to do it by hand. http://windsox.us/Enchanted_Valley_And_Its_Chalet/Enchanted_Valley.html Enchanted Valley and Its Chalet Written by Raymond Geerdes 1954. ONP Archives. Historic Structures Reports. ACC. No. OLYM-731. Cat No. OLYM 16353. Box 3. Folder 10. Geerdes was a Quinault Ranger for Olympic National Park. His report is reference 3 in Enchanted Valley Chalet History. Which is found under the history section of Windsox.us This document was a "pdf" document which was composed on an old typewriter. It may be a copy of a copy and so on. I was able to figure out most of the words except for the names of some people in the report. So some of the names of people may not be spelled correctly.

Thanks for sharing that Bob. I hope they can find a way to open the chalet back up to the public in the future.

Interesting. Did they change the name from Belton to Neilton? Will have to look at the map since I don't recall the mileage between Neilton and the Quinault River.

Thanks Chico, you may have found a spelling error that I mentioned. Hard to read some of the letters on the copy of a copy of a copy. Let me know what you find when you look at the map.

Hi Chico, No need to look it up. I went back and checked the original document. It looks like the letter "B" so I changed Nelton to Belton. Thanks for catching it for me. Bob aka Elder Bob

I recall seeing other typos, They tend to jump off the page at me. Always have. Was known at work (before I retired) as the go to guy for proof reading. I'll try and remember to get back in and provide you with something.

Had time to go through looking for typo's. Found some (not sure if you want to change some). How to get you what I found. I can list paragraph/sentence, send you a Word doc? Let me know what works for you.

Microsoft word for windows, any Microsoft standard text format, or just plain text will work. Even a .jpg file would be ok. If you do not see my e-mail addy, it is: eiderbob@aol.com yes, it has the letter "i" instead of "L". The name "ELDERBOB" was already taken in AOL Thanks again. Bob aka Elderbob

I did bump up the resolution. Biggest problem was original copy had letters blurred. It was a copy of a copy that had been written using an old fashion typewriter. Looked like the type had not been cleaned for a long time. So you could not even read some of the letters by looking at the document.

Thanks Chico. I got it and looked at it. You did a lot or work on it. I will get to it as soon as I can. Have a doctors appointment soon, so will not get to it right away. It looks like you are associated with the Back Country Horsemen. I have links to their site on a few pages of my Web site. It is an extensive Web site.

Took me a bit to read through it is all. Yes, I am with BCHW. Maintain two chapter web sites now. capitolriders.org and oaklandbaybchw.org Oakland Bay's is puny compared with the other (which I took over years ago and built up.)
