Nice! I saw Leo's card in another register a few years ago:

That's a great find! Can we all pay a penny more on our property taxes so these guys can get laminated business cards we'll all be able to enjoy in like 200 years?? I think this ambulance driver from Diablo's register is on to something smile

Was a little careless with the cholla but glad I was wearing jeans.

View from the highest point on Diablo, a bit north of the BM. Seems to have a competing register. Sandstone passes to the left of Diablo and June to the right. Seco del Diablo and Tapiado dead end into it.

Found this business card with the date on the back.

Have never heard of this person, but the internet has! Apparently Whitefield was with the Asst. District Superintendent Leo Crawford on top of Whale Peak some time in 1955 and noticed a prominent canyon to the east. Later that year, they explored the area and discovered the now named Sandstone Canyon. Whitefield revisited the area in December 1955 with a William Kenyon and &quotwith our wives&quot, the trip and canyon's discovery documented in Desert Magazine here: http://mydesertmagazine.com/files/195609-DesertMagazine-1956-September.pdf So sometime right around the canyon's discovery, Whitefield climbed Diablo and left his card in the registry. Isn't that a neat bit of park history? Possibly even true smile


Headed home. Enjoy. Tom
