As the building neared 'lockup' with the roof on, a serious supply effort started.  All of the finishing materials had to be brought to the site by road.  A 4-wd farm tractor was used to tow the highway trailer up the access road to the site.  As the autumn advanced into winter, trips were made daily for almost two months.

Another load arrives after a slow cold ride up the Chatter Creek road. The mornings are frosty and the road is frozen and hard. No mud to worry about until afternoon, when the road thawed.  The trailer is quickly unloaded, and Dale heads off down the hill to make up the next day's load.  The trip started early in the morning in Golden and will end in Golden in mid-afternoon. 

Take a look at the trailer hitch on the tractor, a WalMart "Father's Day" special.
