Lewis & Clark Trail
Since the Lolo Motorway passes right by Indian Post Office, our group was able to lunch in comfort with chairs, a table, and large cooler. In 1805, the Corps fared worse. Sgt. Patrick Gass: "proceeded over the most terrible mountains I ever beheld... The snow fell so thick , and the day was so dark, that a person could not see to a distance of 200 yards. In the night and during the day the snow fell about 10 inches deep." Having no other food, they killed a colt for supper. Top left, guide Bob Clark (foreground) informs us about Indian Post Office; the group, l to r. Chris England, Chuck Wilson, Malcolm Vaughan, Andy Kelly, and Pam Murray. Brian Donahue and Lauren Dunn (LC Adventures assistants) share a cooler seat, above.
