Commemorative marker for Ray Kelley at his cabin site in Homestake Valley, Colorado.
"Ray Kelley had three mining claims staked out in the national forest on Homestake Creek and had built his own little town of cabins by hand. Four cabins were at the top end of a meadow, about a half-mile off the road, and one was hidden in a grove up the steep hills to the west. That one was called the upper claim." p. 52, "Walking Without Footprints," by Connie Delaney.
Kelley's cabin was approximately 3 miles in from the Homestake turnoff.
