Gotta love the Cache

Valley!!! Jim Bridger named it
when he first discovered the
Great Salt Lake in 1824. Trappers
and fur traders searched for
freshwater streams and beaver
around the southern shores of the
lake in 1827. Awesome photo!!!

	Hasn't voted	Thanks, Jim Bridger was well known in Utah. He also has the highpoint of Rich County unofficially named after him. You can probably tell that I like Cache Valley since I have a lot of pages in that area and can name every mountain there.

	Voted 10/10	Yes Melinda, I noticed. You really have some good beta in those pages. You should be proud of yourself. There's some people that don't know the difference between ... the Great Salt Lake and the Dead Sea. Many don't bother to research the diversity of the Great Basin & Colorado Plateau.
