(Continued
from previous page) Capt. Lewis stopped the bleeding: "I found
much difficulty in stoping the blood which I could not effect untill
I applyed a tight bandage with a little cushon of wood and tow on
the veign below the wound." And then, Pvt. John Colter and his
horse fell into turbulent Hungry Creek: "...himself and horse
were driven down the creek a considerable distance rolling over each
other over the rocks." Miraculously, he and horse escaped unscathed.
Right side photos, the confluence of Eldorado and Dollar Creeks at
Salmon Trout Camp. Left photos; Swampy area of Dollar Creek, north
of the campsite. The Lewis and Clark Trail should run east from here
to Full Stomach Camp. A sign says swampy conditions require hikers
to follow HWY 500 or use Trail 14. You can hike the LCT (25) west
from here to Lolo Crk. |
