Enjoy this never-seen-before Super 8MM footage shot on location in the 1950's at Garland Mineral Springs in Index, WA. This video consists of clips from the private collection of the Mooney family.

Index-Galena Road

Jon Sharpe at the private driveway that leads to Garland.

Update: November 2023 - We are happy to report the Index-Galena road has reopened!

Two generations of Sharpe's in 2009 on the washed out Index-Galena road.

We are excited to report the Index-Galena road is scheduled to reopen in the fall of 2023. As many of you know the road was destroyed by flooding in 2006 and a quick 17 years later we are almost ready to resume the 10-mile drive from Garland to Index. We want to thank everyone who has joined together to make this happen. Our family is grateful and blessed to still call Garland "home".
