Cut [[underline]] 217 [[/underline]]
The 2nd cut is the longer one.
It measures almost 400 yds. in length, & is made across a long ridge, so that both sides are about the same. The west side is a cleaner cut,
however, and most of the work was done in that side.

Base = 1336
Top of Kansan - 1351
Top of gray loess - 1365
