Joseph O'Neil set out from Lake
Cushman.
The historians will celebrate the
anniversary of the more accessible
east-to-west route along the South
Fork of the Skokomish River to
the Quinault River, which was
completed in 1907. This resulted
after Alfred H. Anderson, owner
of the Potlatch Logging Company,
made a deal with the U.S. Forest
Service to build a horse trail from
his lodge at Lake Cushman to the
Quinault area. Anderson provided
the funding and the Forest Service
supervised the location and con-
struction of the trail.
Picnic participants on August
19 are asked to bring a sack lunch.
Society members will provide des-
serf, juice and water. So that ev-
eryone can get to the trailhead at
the same time and not get lost,
participants will gather at 12:30
in the Skokomish Valley Grange
Hall at 2200 West Skokomish Val-
ley Road and proceed from there
to the site. Joining the group for
the day will be the Back Country
Horsemen of Mason County.
There are picnic tables at the
site, but people may wish to bring
a folding chair. Picnickers are ad-
vised to wear comfortable cloth-
ing and be prepared to spend the
day outdoors. Short hiking alter-
natives will be available to those
wishing to explore the area. Oth-
ers are invited to sit and visit.
All programs and events of the
historical society are open to the
public without charge. For more
information, call 426-1020.
