	KALALOCH AREA - ELDER BOB
		Unnavigable conditions at the mouth of the Queets caused the early settlers to cut a primitive trail on the south bank of the river to the first homestead in the settlement colony (Cleland 1973, 268-76).
		Queets settlers selected old burns or prairie land for home sites when possible but, invariably, it was necessary to clear sections of land of underbrush and trees and to keep them cleared.
		Other evidences of the settlement era on the Queets River still remain: non-native grasses, ornamental shrubs and flowers, orchard trees, fallen and decaying fence posts, pieces of wire fencing, and collapsed farm buildings are among the existing historic relics.
