The Acton Free Press Wednesday August By Wendy Thomson Way up In the mountains with quite a bit of time on our hands It became a popular pastime to watch the summer romances develop The stories I could write talking to some of the others in our group I found that they ail felt the same way I do the first trail ride I was on I was fascinated by the scenery and overwhelmed with the of all the experiences of camping out In the Rockies More noticeable The second ride this July I began to notice more about the people around me and by the third rldt u few weeks igo the patterns of courtships quite plain By the way I am talking about this from a viewpoint not a participants home of us had to know guides well enough that from the first day of a ride we d speculate and bet on the irls each would choose to be Girl of Week I becoming fairly good at picking But then I was In a fairly good As Master of ceremonies camp director department etc I had the ch into to get to know everybody ruht oft I also provided an amused but sympathetic ear when wanted to talk about the guides As said the talcs I could tell Anyhow us calloused veterans of more than ride would sit back to watch the dramas unfold should make it plain here that most of the guides arc hard working strong silent types the kind that kiss their horse goodnight at the end of the day But others find the chin whiskers a little prickly and would rather find something a little more soft and swcctsmelllng I guess Rundown courtihJp The first tentative step In the courtship Is a complete rundown on the area a attractions the mountains glaciers river valley wildlife flowers etc right down to This a tree That Is a toad When all that has run out any old nonwnse will do nils Is a petrified tree After day or two of this a guide will come up with a seemingly spontaneous suggestion Hey lets have a purty tonight Now the decision Is up to the girl When the crowd arrives she can either have a large supply of wood in the tent to keep the fire going late Into the night or she can retire into her sleeping bag pull ft up over her head and leave her tcntmate to entertain the guests as best she And so It went We applauded when two nice people got together and we cheered when one guide who seemed Just a llttc loo sure of himself missed the boat 1 m sure the head guide Mike Crawley t mind my telling you of a dashing tale of gallantry and he featured in I Just wish I d had my camera handy so I could provide lures too It all started when girl was bending over the river to get a drink of water and her beautiful brand new white hat fell In As it sailed on down the river Mike followed trying to catch it as It caught on snags Unfortunately It swept around a bend and out of reach lint trick Undaunted Mike leapt onto the nearest horse urged it into the water and raced down to where the hat was snagged again Stopping beside it he reached down lower and lower but the hat was lower still He slid a bit further off till all we could see was one leg hooked over the saddle horn and one arm looped around the neck Then to all our shouts of glee Mike slid right around under the horse neck and hung thereover a foot of water Something had to give His hat fell with a and Mike wearily unwound from the mad embrace and lowered both boots Into the waiting river grabbed both hats swung back up onto the patient horse and dripped his way back to the cheering crowd fine gallantry that WILL Avoid unnecessary eye ac cidents this summer Start by storing glass containers at moderate temperatures and keep jarred and bottled
