Chelan overland voyage from White Bluffs to Lake Chelan
An eyewitness account describes the steam launch Chelan cut in two at White Bluffs and hauled on wheels for the overland trek to Lake Chelan. Soldiers and crew cleared a path with axes and picks, with anchors used to ease descents. The first seventeen miles took three days, the trip then continuing by mule overland toward Camp Chelan as the post’s fate hangs in doubt.
