Read diary entries of furniture and things too heavy to haul up the hill. I believe there are old telegraph poles there also that replaced the pony express.
@janellemolony metal detected the slope of the hill and was finding lots of old square shanked nails indicative of the time period along with what looked like busted wagon hardware and barrel straps. Diaries described it being a grueling haul up it. I live up in The Big Horn Basin now but am going to have to take a trip there again. It's just too cool

I don’t remember seeing remains of telegraph poles on this visit. Willow Springs was an absolute oasis compared to Ave of Rocks, though.
