R.E.Johnson 1967 Journal July 31 Cabinet Mtns, Bonner Co., Idaho (cont.) with huckleberry & fool's huckleberry growing beneath. Bear droppings were numerous & berry filled. Other plants included Twin Flower, Foam Flower, Pipsisswa, Pine Drops. I drove up Porcupine Lake Rd at dusk & camped by a small creek 2 miles below the lake. The lake is in a north facing cirque & I had thought it might contain cliffs, snow, cross finches but on inspection I found almost no snow and the cliffs are similar to those on the north side of Mt. Pend Oreille (i.e. covered with low trees, not big bluffs, etc.) Mileages on Lightning Creek from Clark Fork: East Fork Rd 7 miles Porcupine Cr. Rd. 9 Canyon Rd. 13 Rattle Cr.
