The sign of which I speak are the classic Spanish mark. Daggers, crosses and gunsite directional monuments, unless of course you know of someone else that put them there. I'm open to any new information so please, enlighten me. I'm just telling you this from 30 years of seeing them from Sonora Mexico to Idaho and believing completely that they were made by Spanish. There is even the classic bird wings on a huge boulder, tilting in the direction that the old trail turns on a dime.

Just out of curiosity, were these marks found anywhere in the general area around Pocatello?

I've never explored around Pokey. I have wondered about the Lava Hotsprings area and south into Utah as a possible route they may have taken but as I say, I've only soaked in the hot baths there and didn't really look around much. One never knows until one gets out and peaks through the bushes.

I googled the diary, seems they would have come from the Pacific and Columbia River.
