Lewis & Clark Trail - Lolo Motorway Idaho

This site is about two miles west of Salmon Trout Camp on FR 500. The hunters, mentioned in Lewis's journal entry, were Pvt. Alexander Willard, and either Pvt. Joseph or Reubin Fields. They, as well as others, were assigned as the Expedition's hunters. The Captains knew they would find game scarce higher up in the Bitterroot Mountains. The Nez Perce guides, who volunteered to guide them, thought it was too early in the season, so remained at Weippe.
