| Snowbank
Camp: The Lewis and Clark Expedition spent the night of September
15, 1805 here. Our group's tents are scattered among the trees - not
in military formation. Left, the view southwest from the camp. Top
right, a stand of beargrass marches before the camp. Having no identification
sign, Snowbank Camp appears to be just a wide spot in the forest,
top left. Captain Clark commented: "As we Conceved we could find
no water and Concluded to Camp and make use of the Snow we found on
the top to cook the remnt. of our Colt & make our Supe, evening
verry Cold and Cloudy." |
