Camp Rock

Camp Rock was a big milestone on the California Trail here on the Idaho Utah border. Travelers, including the ill fated Donner Party, used axle grease from their ox carts to mark their passage. Weather and Time has erased most. Hopefully, they found the better life they were walking to!

Camp Rock (and the City of Rocks) was a welcome sight after miles of scrub and sage across the high desert.
Travelers left their mark here, but time and weather have slowly been erasing them away.
Today we would call this graffiti, but really what difference is there? We all want to leave something of ourselves to mark our passage..
