[QUOTE="Ivan Seeking, post: 6846651, member: 689"] We were riding in a remote area near Tamarack Springs, Washington, when we came across a grave with a stone marked "White Woman Grave". [ATTACH type="full" alt="1674620139772.png"]321071[/ATTACH] The Park Service had constructed a simple barrier around the grave to protect it from observers. And you can see the original stone has been placed in a cement frame for protection. But we had no clues as to the story behind the grave. We were on ATVs, but we ran into a number of people either walking or on bicycles, who were lost. After we ate our lunch and continued on the trail, we too got lost. And I mean REALLY lost! Cell communications dropped out. The "map" we had purchased from the ATV rental only showed a simple trail to follow, and not the hundreds of other trails intersecting our trail. There was no way to know what was what! We were in low, rolling hills, with areas of trees, that seemingly went on forever. We finally managed to get a cell signal and called to have the ATV company come and get us for a modest additional fee of something like $500. Clearly they did this regularly - hence the useless map. But later I learned the story of the White Woman Grave. I don't recall their names, but a poor fellow and his young, pregnant wife, were traveling through those same hills around 1875, IIRC. They too got lost and roamed the hills for days. Finally, they encountered a native American who directed them to the settlement they sought. They were so excited that they started to run the horses. But the young woman was thrown from her horse. She and the baby died on the spot. Her husband buried her and marked the grave as that of a white woman so grave robbers would leave it alone. They only robbed from native American graves. [/QUOTE]
