"Mar. 1912. Elk (after re-loading) Joseph on way to Billy Mdws. Up and away goes a crate of three elk being transferred to a sled for the remainder of the trip after the snow became too deep for wagons. The crates were changed at McCarty Creek after coming by wagon from the David Michellod sheep ranch earlier in the day."

"Mar. 1912. Nearing Billy Meadows the snow was so deep often times the horses' backs were barely visible above the deep cuts. The sleds were in almost constant danger of tipping over. The trip took much longer than had been planned but all the elk arrived safely to their new home."

"What started out as a great adventure turned into a much larger challenge when men and horses undertook to transport a herd of elk. It would have been a huge undertaking in good weather but March, 1912, was fickle. Where snow was needed for easier going, it melted and where it wasn't wanted, it fell. Here they are pulling toward St. Anthony, Idaho, coming in after a grueling trip over Teton Pass, Wyoming." "A storm over Teton Pass proves a challenge to man and beast. It was just the beginning of a long trek for 15 Rocky Mountain elk on their way to St. Anthony, Ida. from Jackson Hole, Wyo. and on to Joseph, Ore. in March, 1912. From Joseph the animals were hauled to Billy Meadows in the Chesnimnus unit of Wallowa County. This was the first of several such imports of elk into the area."
