0041 "SPUD" LAKE COLLECTION
***NOTE: Spud Lake made some identifications in 1978. Because of his advanced age, id's should be used in conjunction with other evidence .
He stated that planes may be those of Maury Graham, pioneer pilot. Also, he noted that Tommy Thompson ran Rockwell Field when it was opened. Petrified wood pictured in no.12 was gathered in the vicinity of the Spring Mountain Ranch. In 1978 it was donated to the Nevada State Park System and returned to Spring Mountain Ranch.
