Lewis & Clark Trail
Indian Post Office, with its notable cairns, top right and right. It's debatable how long cairns have been here. Local expert Steve Russell thinks no cairns were there when the Corps passed: "I am inclined to believe that rock cairns did not exist at Indian Postoffice until the Nez Perce War of 1877." Top left, looking in the direction of Lonesome Cove Camp from Indian Post Office. Private Whitehouse: "towards evening we descended the mountain down in a lonesome cove on a creek we Camped in a thicket of Spruce pine & bolsom fir timber."
