D.A. Good 1982 Journal Bear Creek, Bitterroot Natl Forest to Copperking Campground, Lolo Natl Forest, Montana 24 June Started out from Bear Creek after having breakfast, etc.: ca. 0830. We drove back out to US 93 and then N to Lolo. From there W to Lolo Ranger Station where I picked up a Lolo Natl Forest map. Then W on Montana 238 (dirt road) to Howard Creek Meadow where we spent an hour or so turning logs looking for Genhorstus.
