Freighting on Crow Creek

Freighters on Crow Creek
Date: Unknown
Photographer: Unknown

Pulling into the shade, freighters pause for the photographer. Bringing in supplies via Crow Creek from Montpelier and the railroad was an important fall enterprise because snow storms could quickly close the road, isolating the valley. These freighters were probably looking forward to a break at the Half Way House to rest their teams. How many fellows do you count? I believe there are seven.
