Additional base camps were needed in the central and south pieces of the ranch and so Carson-Maxwell and Cimarroncito were created. When the system was refined once more in time for the 1969 season the fixed base-camp model was eliminated and the pre-planned trek system debuted with a mix of themed staff camps and trail camps

Additional base camps were needed in the central and south pieces of the ranch and so Carson-Maxwell and Cimarroncito were created. When the system was refined once more in time for the 1969 season the fixed base-camp model was eliminated and the pre-planned trek system debuted with a mix of themed staff camps and trail camps Dean Canyon Cabin - Circa 1941 PhilTurn Lodge - Circa 1941 1935 - The original Baldytown located on Baldy Mountain's East face. Shortly after the end of the Civil War, the surrounding area saw a flood of eager miners looking to profit off of the mountain's gold and copper rush. Another settlement known as Elizabethtown was founded on the mountain's west face and a number of decommissioned mine shafts remain to this day. 1955 - The Stockade fort underneath the Tooth of Time.  Unfortunately this one burned but it was rebuilt.

The actions and decisions made during the initial attack phase saved several structures in the Cimarroncita area and helped minimize damage to Ute Park residential areas.

In the following days, the United States Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and countless other regional fire departments would send units and crews to assist in the two-week campaign. Cactus FLowers Lizard in camp Lizard on the lookout Dont forget the flowers
