Old path at Carrs Fork Coal Co. 1966

Back for a visit in 1966. This is a view just across the road from the Carrs Fork Coal Company commissary. The small trail up the old slate dump and hill was made by a lot of barefooted kids running up and down it. At the top of the hill was the mine and on up  was another hill was the camp house that we lived in just above the mine. The houses were all long gone. In the foreground is my Sister Nett Fields.
