Desertdog, If your interested in the Queets history a couple of good reads are "Trails and Trials of the Olympic Pioneers" and "My Queets Story" Both are at the Aberdeen Library. Many of the Queets tribs are named after the Homesteaders. (Phelan, Drinkwater,Hartzel, Hibbard, etc.) There is a story about each struggle. Also, For those who didn't know the next time your at Streeters with your drift boat cross the river and check out the pioneer graveyard. There is several graves from the Streeters' family. The apple trees are still there and the daffidals (spelling?) should be coming up soon. Oh yeah, if your down by tacoma creek, across from mud creek, check to see if Zane Gray's cabin is still standing. It's on the north bank just upstream of Tacoma creek mouth.
