Victor Dump at the reins of the horse team and Otto Bergman sitting on lumber from the Fleming Lumber mill. The lumber is on a skid drawn by a horse team.
"The breast strap of the team is threaded through both rings, with the pole strap loop captured between them. This arrangement virtually eliminates the tendency for the end ring sleeve to be pulled off the end of the neckyoke. Simple, but good insurance." -- Stu Dykstra

The restored Wohlgehagen cabin, while titled the "stage stop" by Diamond S ranch residents, was very likely not the actual stage stop on Bellyache. Rather, this is Anna Wohlgehagen's homestead cabin that has been re-built and re-located. According to Jack Oleson, the real stage stop was likely located at the head of Squaw Creek and was not salvageable.
A tour of the ranch was conducted by the Eagle County Historical Society and the Diamond S Ranch...
