Down in the Bonneville area. Lots of history in this photo.

Is that the Govt. Camp Island where the locks were later built? Taking the sternwheeler trip showed many of the rocks but only the top 3 feet or so, and explained as the result of the natural bridge collapse according to Capt. Crambletts.

I was hoping for some comments to pinpoint exactly where this spot is. My guess is Fort Rains area, with a newly built railroad.
I wish we could see more of the round rock on the right.
