DANGERS IN OLD
TRAIL NOW BUT
MEMORY i

For many years the Half Moon
trail between Kirkwood creek and Big
bar on Snake river about twelve miles
above Pittsburg Landing, has been the
bane of all travellers.
This trail crossed Half Moon basin
at an elevation of 800 to 1000 feet
above Snake river. The slopes are
exceedingly step, averaging 20 degrees,
and are smooth and covered with a
luxuriant growth of bunch grass.
The old trail was a narrow shelf
hardly wide enough in places for a
horses hoOf, which chung to these
steep walls in a most precarious fash
ion where one misstep would plunge
horse and rider in a lightning-like
slide into Snake river 1000 feet below.
Many a hard-boiled buckaroo, ac-
customed to plunging recklessly over
steep slopes on the cat-footed sop-eye
for which the Salmon. and Snake are
famous, has been glad to dismOunt and
stumble along this trail on his high
heels rather that trust his life to any
thing but his own method of travel
However, the Half Moon is now but
a memory for campfire tales, for the
forest service and Idaho county have
constructed 5000 feet of new trail
just above high water mark which
eliminates the old trail. A ten-man
crew worked for three and one-half
months on the job, beginning Decem-
Der 4. Total cost Of the work was
$500, and 300 pounds Of INT was
used on the work, much of the trail
being built through perpendicular rock
