This is the spot where the old Indian Trail crosses Hiway 2.
The Upper Spokan were a highly mobile group, moving from area to area to make use of the resources. As the salmon runs would end on the Snake River (near Walla Walla), they would travel to the upper Columbia River (and Colville River), and vice versa. This is the area of the original trail. Over the last century, farming and cultivation have pretty much wiped out any trace of the actual trail, but this monument marks the location.
To claim credit for this cache, post a photo of yourself (with your GPS) or email me with the date that is inscribed on the base of the monument (on the bottom left side). Do not post the answer here, even if encrypted.
