I had to just re-create info I had previously posted to the old forum and could no longer find about Gerlach and the IBA Memorial a while back. Thankfully I had most of it archived in various emails.

It appears that The Wayback Machine has quite a bit from ironbutt.oeg/forum going back to at least 2005. Unfortunately (and perhaps obviously?) the search function does not work. It also appears that all attached photos have been nuked. It will take a bit of digging but I may be able to find at least the text in there somewhere.
@Stephen! Any chance you found you found any pictures of the Gerlach Memorial? I am trying to confirm there is a stone for my brother; "Doug Holmes" still there. Around 2002 I got an email stating a stone was added for him. Before dad passed, he said he had received a picture of the memorial with a stone for Doug. I think it may be at the far back. IF you got time, please look. Thanks!

Sadly I passed close to the memorial two years ago, travel from Reno to Minnesota, and didn't stop.
I've already discussed a visit next year with the wife?
It's a unique spot. If anyone visiting has the time, it's always appreciated if they help pull some grass/weeds while they are there. Maintenance is an on-going task and the current caretaker doesn't get up there as often as he would like to.
