The August 12, campsite was off the photo to the right and near the Bear River which runs meandering through the photo. This photo is at the beginning of the Oneida Narrows which prohibited the travel through the canyon by the Bidwell Party, Indians & Trappers. A dam now backs the water up which you can see in the upper left hand quarter of the photo. A gravel road has now been cut above the reservoir down to the dam and connecting to the road to Preston, Idaho.
