Show ;; TEST RUN, Dugway Proving Ground, Friday, May 27, 1966 'Nigh A 100 Years Have Passed - by Helen Fletcher Collins An automobilist, bouncing un merrily over the first five miles between the Post East Gate and the foot of Johnsons Pass, was reminded of the adage: There is nothing new under the sun. THE CONDITION of this road is certainly nothing new. In fact, if one may believe an excerpt from the diary of one Hiram Wallace Severe, a resident of Skull Valley around 1888, the present roughness of the road is of a continuing status. Severe wrote of the experience of Antelope Jake," a Indian known to the settlers of die 1870s as George Lang." The tale relates to the inaccessibility of the Pass almost 90 years ago. It was summer and loaded wagons couldnt get up nor down between Rush Valley and Skull Valley, according to the pages of the diary. The roadway was completely covered with hundreds of tons of boulders of all sizes. Even walking was quite a job. And it haint changed much, the diarist opined. JAKE, HIS MOTHER, and his brothers and sisters (the number is not mentioned) were trying to pick their way down the nigged trail. About noon they stopped near Servicebeny Spring, just a few hundred yards from die summit Jake. took a bucket and scrambled down through foe cedars and imderbmsfa for water. He was coming back when he heard a roar and saw a wall of water "taller than a cabin about to overtake him. The boy grabbed for the limb of a big cedar and clung to thestickery branch until sundown when the waters receded. That water take all my pants, and all my shirt, too. Take my mother, my brothers. My sisters, they all gone, Jake lamented, and the fat cattle, too. Rut the flood, with all the damage and suffering it caused, was also beneficial. The rushing torrent carved a dear path foe length of foe winding miles. The stones that had blocked travel before, were piled neatly on either sides of the rocky canyon. Legend has it that the Pass has been accessible ever since, although there are those, these 87 yean later, who are Mhwi to disagree. One disgruntled driver, jolting his car over the .1966 corkscrew course, was heard wishing that there would be another such flood to bring some boulders to fill foe danged Go-shu- te DURING THE April 18 monthly meeting of die Dugway Officen Wivm Club, special pieeti fan the Tooele Army Depot were present.
