It's only because you are more aware of it. If you hadn't seen the show, then read the thread, you wouldn't have paid much (or any) attention to the local paper or Lolo Pass.
BTW, if you can find a copy of "Undaunted Courage" by the late Stephen Ambrose, it is a very detailed history of the expedition. I found it fascinating, and somewhat sad.
