Lost Cannon Peak history

Post by Silky Smooth »

Hi everyone, some of the guys up at the base and I having been talking about history and old routes, the old California trail came up and Lost Cannon Peak and the canon of course. Curious if any of you history sleuths had some info on the history of the lost cannon, I googled a bit but i figured i ask in case someone has run down that rabbit hole before. Has it been truly found outside of bridgeport?

Also curious about the leavitt meadows lodge? what ever happened to it and where was it located?

thanks
Silky
