Lewis & Clark Trail
Neither Lewis nor Clark mentioned this spot . On September 16, 1805, they departed Snowbank Camp, slogged 28 miles, through a snowstorm, cutting north, to a campsite of last resort - Lonesome Cove Camp. Experts believe their view was obscured and they desperately needed to find shelter. On their return, in 1806, they followed the same northern route, passing through Lonesome Cove Camp, and settling down for the night at Bears Oil and Roots Camp (see previous pages). No journal entries mention Indian Post Office this time either.
