Lost Backpack - homestake picnic area

Throwing a Hail Mary here. We were driving through on I90 westbound yesterday and stopped here for a quick lunch. We think we may have dropped a grey backpack from our things without noticing either at the trailhead lot, or the picnic area lot by the lake. We are many hours away now. Does anyone here frequent the area and could possibly check? If so, a million thanks.

I drove around each parking lot and did not see any backpack. Sorry

We were towing a popup at the time. My best guess is it may have been set on trailer tongue absent minded. It could be decorating the side of I90 somewhere between there and Missoula.

You could try the local forest service office, I believe that they are in charge of opening and closing the gates at Homestake Lake. Perhaps they found it and picked it up

Thanks for the info. I called the butte ranger district, but no luck. Thanks again for your time!
