"This house, located in the south-east part of the old Groh ranch, was built by Sam Kibbler about 1905 and he, his wife and daughter, Lucille, were the first occupants, but only for a few years. After they left, it has been a home to a number of people including the Grohs after retirement. Its appearance has changed somewhat since 1905 though it's still the same house. In 1942 Helen Ray bought it for $300 but only occupied it for a short time." --...

This photo was taken about a mile north west of McCoy, by A. B. Noyce of Steamboat Springs in the spring of 1903. The three freighters...
25) Salt Well

The Salt Well southeast of McCoy. "Early settlers gave it this name because of the waters salty taste. It is a deep natural spring about forty feet in diameter with a steady year-around flow of water which remains at approximately the same temperature in all seasons.

"These hunters were camped on Black Creek, ten miles north-east of McCoy in 1912. They are: Rudolph Ebert, Carl Schrupp, Ernest Werner and Fritz Arendt. The photo by Martin Schomers. At that date, it's doubtful if any one of the group possessed a hunting license. Note the grouse hanging on the tree, one of the reasons that grouse, once so plentiful in those days, are so scarce now." -- McCoy Memoirs, p.11
