[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1701809, member: 498"] The old Oxman ditch is pre 1900. It runs for over a mile on my property. It washed out in the 1920's and never ran after that. The first picture is one of the ditch where it is still in good shape. Next is the piers for a flume they built. The flume jumped the ditch from one side of the canyon to the other. Both sides of the canyon had some serious rock cliffs which they needed to avoid. It is pretty amazing that they were able to dig this ditch by hand through some of the terrine it passes through. All of the supplies for construction of the flume had to be brought in by pack horse or by hand as there was no road here back then. The last picture shows a piece of a board that is bolted to one of the piers. That piece of wood has to be over 100 years old. Goes to show how long things can last in this dry climate. [/QUOTE]
