Townsend
Yorks Islands Fishing Access, a few miles south of Townsend, has a campground. I stayed overnight and had time to find some "wildlife." Captain Lewis described a variety of snakes he found in the area. The black snake, top left and right, may be a western hog-nosed snake. Moving through in July, the Corps found wild berries growing everywhere. I was here on September 1st, 2007. These wild rose hips, above, were similar to the roses they found throughout the trip. The islands are named for Clark's slave, York. I assume Lewis named the islands. Clark, without York, was traveling on land.
