Now that this thread has run its course, a little history refresher.
Lake Abert (not ALbert. There is no L in the name) was named by explorer John Fremont for Col Abert, head of the U.S. Army Corps of Topographical Engineers that commissioned Fremont's expedition.
Fremont's journal is a free e-book for Kindle and you can read his account of the expedition. Read with a map handy and you can follow along. You may already visited or camped in places described in 1843.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for posting the clarification of the name, the misspelling/misnameing was making my teeth hurt :)
Great reading, all and any of Fremont's journals and histories.
