Moose,Agate can make some of the prettiest points there are. Vines,  I never dug there,came in from the Hanford side and dug petrified logs up on top of the saddles.Good stuff it was too !  '  Frank

Heard there are people claiming private land up there, stayed away from there but 1 time...there was a club there at the time. You fing good knappable wood there???

Yeah ! It was snow white and knapped like butter.Couldn't tell you what kinda tree.Maybe a cottonwood. Only found the one.I don't think I have even a chip of it left,all given away or made into gravel. (I was just learning to knap then) There are more logs up there for sure.Alot of it is darker stuff and you find its like all over the basin in the form of points and debitage.Saw a partially completed blade about 4 or 5 inches long laying on the bank of the Columbia down by Mary Hill one time.Looked like saddle mountains stuff.  '  Frank
