Horse teams scraping snow from the ice field on Cocolalla Lake in the early 1900's,

Scraping snow from the ice field on Cocolalla Lake for the Cocolalla Ice and fuel company. The teams of horses would scrape the ice several times a day to assure the quality of the “blue ice” (ice with little or no snow on the surface). Photo donated by Dale Eich.
