tching its way along the ridge here is the Lolo Motorway, the rough single lane which was completed in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, an agency established during President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's administration to provide jobs and carry out needed conservation of the country's natural resources, especially in the West.
The View from Indian Post Office
ometime on September 16, 1805, the Corps of Discovery passed along the brink of this basin, a few yards above the camera. They weren't in the right mood to admire the scenery. They were too cold, hungry, and generally miserable to admire the scenery. They couldn't have seen much of it anyway. Snow fell throughout the day, for a total of eight wet, slippery inches.
