Show Another trail which we explored was the one proposed between Dolores and Mancos. However, because of the amount of private property which exists in the area, it was felt by the local people that this might be specific very difficult to implement, and recommendations in this regard. ' so we have not made any body of this report, Architects/Planners Alliance has attempted explore in as much detail as allowed by our budget, the possibili ties surrounding the proposed commemoration in 1976 of the Dominguez Escalante Expedition of 1776.' In brief, we hae divided the primary subject matter into four parts: (1) the D/E story itself; (2) the of or the three cultures Indian, people, Spanish and Anglo peoples who have inhabited this area with emphasis on the Indians living here in 1776; (3) the geology of the area an the beautiful scenery In the to that characterizes the land; and (4) the tourist attractions available for developing the area into a great tourist package throughout the These correspond to the Bicentennial year and in the years ahead. four basic zones for graphic panel subject matter developed for the We have illustrated this information commemorative ramada concept. in such a way that it can be used both in terms of a published manual, or in the forms of material for a few panels in the ramadas, or, in a more elaborate version, in any kind of final museum or In addition to the interpre exhibition that might be established. tation of the four categories of information outlined above, we have furnished a logo design and developed marker and ramada concepts We have developed based on an expansion of the logo concept. miscellaneous hardware design concepts and have outlined a method We are also furnishing four for presenting a calendar of events. show with text. of a slide copies Due to the tremendous physical area covered by the trail, the scope of the work, and the many local contacts necessary, the fee structure for this study did not permit APA to carry any of these four areas of material to a final form. We have not, for instance, been able to develop full working drawings on any of the hardware items, the ramadas, nor have we exhaustively worked out the details of the story or the geology. We have given enough information so that any agencies with the capabilities for implementation could easily For example, the panels do so through the use of this material. for the ramada or for the roadside markers could be developed from the drawings, sketches and textual materials which are incorporated in this report. Precisely how these materials would be incorporated must be left to an implementation phase, coordinated by the full time director which we previously recommended. Architects/Planners Alliance will assist the director in the interpretation of this master plan, as the director requests such information. However, we cannot prepare the final layouts for panels or complete working drawings on the ramadas, or supervise installation within the fee structure of this initial master plan To avoid confusion, it is suggested that all requests and report. on this study be made through either the Utah clarification for Historical Society or through the full time director which we have recommended previously so that these requests can be consolidated and cleared and answers can be forwarded to everyone who has received a copy of this master plan. 1-5 |
