These miners at the Cottonwood Placer mine in Montrose County, Colorado transformed a cave into a bunkhouse (1897 photo). Clearly the men have a sense of humor, naming their home the “Ocean Grove”, with signs that read “Ladies without bloomers are not allowed on the beach”, “Tourists without baggage must pay in advance”, and “O.G. dining rooms 16 to one”.
This gentleman seems quite impressed by the young lady’s 1933 Studebaker President Speedway St. Regis Brougham! Only 733 Speedway Presidents were built in 1933.
Missed it by that much!
