That Lolo pass area is very, very wild. It will be a dangerous mission for the men going in to get the guy.

two Missoula County sheriff's deputies stopped to check on a vehicle that had been parked for a long time at the Fort Fizzle picnic area on U.S. Highway 12 west of Lolo. Fort Fizzle is where soldiers from Fort Missoula put up a breastworks to stop the Nez Perce following Chief Joseph from coming through in 1877. Chief Joseph outsmarted them and took all of his people, well over a thousand warriors, women and children, with several thousand horses, up the mountain slope just north of the 'fort.' Not a shot was fired. He then took them down the Bitterroot, over Gibbons Pass into the Big Hole country. There a real battle was fought. Actually it was more of a massacre, with the soldiers firing into the camp from above. You can still see the rifle pits, and when I was there they were holding dead trees with bullet holes in them together with bolts so people could see physical evidence of the fight. There's a lot more to this story, but you can read books about it. I killed my first buck not more than a mile from Fort Fizzle.
