Death Creek Traditional Cache

Death Creek, a tributary of Kelly Creek, which flows into The North Fork of the Clearwater!
We were originally in the area for a women"s fly fishing outing put on by The Kelly Creek Flycasters. Tried Googling Death Creek with no luck!
Perhaps it is related to The Great Burn of 1910! On the afternoon of 20 August a hurricane force wind fanned several thousand small fires into one large blowtorch of a fire that roared across 3,000,000 acres of Western Montana and Northern Idaho and claimed the lives of 86 people!
For more information on the Fires of 1910, I recommend reading; "The Big Burn" by Timothy Egan.
Have just discovered that the fire near here was during 1919 not 1910!!! See the near by virtual cache Night of the Fire for some history. Go on line to learn more about the 1919 fire!
