History[]

During the Civil War, Colorado was only a territory and the USS Colorado was named for the territory. [1] In 1945, the state dammed a small river and created Table Lake. The damming of the lake submerged a lumber mill. In 1954, the Vixen 03, an USAF C-97 Stratofreighter, left NAS Buckley for Hickam AFB, Hawai'i, when the aircraft crashed in the Sawatch Mountains in Table Lake. During the 1950s, Lee Rafferty and his wife, Maxine Rafferty, vacationed in the Table Lake area. In 1970, the Raffertys moved to the Table Lake area.

In 1985, Charles Smith discovered the wreckage and brought in Lee Rafferty in an attempt to salvage the plane, but Lee murdered Charles and made it look like an accident. In 1988, Loren Smith, Charles' daughter, and Dirk Pitt take a vacation at Charles' cabin. Dirk discovered some of the salvaged wreckage and takes it to Stapleton Airport in Denver to be identified. Pitt, Albert Giordino, and Colonel Abraham Steiger re-discovered the wreckage with Smith's body.
