Preview of MARBLE COLORADO, and the Treasure Mountain Bible Camp

                 Marble, Colorado                                                June 25, 2021

  

In 1913 Manhattan builders ordered 1.2 million cubic feet for The Equitable Building.

In 1931 the quarry yielded one-hundred-ton slab, 

It was the largest block of marble ever cut - 

f

or the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

also     columns of marble were used in the Lincoln Memorial

Many pieces of marble all around town, and here is a piece that 

is in the camp's "Avalanche Park"

                 

The Marble quarry is only a couple of miles up the road from the camp.

We arrived during some rain, so did not walk far up the historic trail.

(The elevation here is 8600 feet!)

We are looking forward to exploring more of the area (after the days of working at the Bible Camp)
