The Acton Free Wednesday By Thomson Now lmbnckfromholldaa settled into the fining the same old that don t want cuts that cats that have kittens drier that won t dry ik few like an pound hound pup aunt mine not hers down the stairs fit of exuberant When Ret too I take mental leave of my problems and let my thoughts drift through those two wuek3 in the mountains Odd the thins my mind settles on It laughable now the time I was bent over double my hair when horse fly bit me on the rear end What made It nil the more startling was that a few minutes before I had seen the camp boss way nunc and needle after giving one of the a shot I straitened up in rather Bed ban And one thing I thankful for every morntritf here is that I don have to my bottle of Ban to bed with me in order to have It warm enough to use It made for uncomfortable sleeping sometimes Of course tht was so magnificent there the wilderness area north of that there is no end to mental pit tuns I can conjure up but the most memorable times were of quite different things The first was stopping the horses In a small clearing and finding so far from civilization the carving of a seated woman about inches high in the side of a tree The next was after riding for miles every day without seeing anybody outside of our group to glance up the side of a mountain by Bed Deer Lake and see two hikers trekking across a patch of snow high Then there was the afternoon storm was brewing Here thunder is just thunder no matter how loud and long it gets But up there it was something different and indescribable I ve thought for ages try to write about how it was The sound filled the whole sky echoing through the mountains it was more than a sound it was an in itself Relief surprise And of course up in the Rockies it a great disappointment if some sort of itoisnt put In lift tintuirl morning to find it big ilk standing inltm I ilon know who huh tin moil surprised And Iht at lunch stop Marmot t contain his curiosity Ik pop up at spot disappearing into the to reappear a few minute Ink r a little closer to us the lunch was ready he had about Invited himself right down to the coffee pot From the letup I i been from On the thing that tickled their fancy wns something I had been furious about at the time but can laugh at now It all started when 1 decided to roll a 1 don smoke but used to roll the odd one for until he quit eight ago and wanted to see if I still could the makings from and proceeded I 1 would done all rikht except Ik was That didn t make It taskr Still things too bad 1 don think until Mike Ihm to criticize know it was lumpy but I think I could have distributed the lumps more evenly if he had just shut up for awhile When it was done he looked at it in disgust and Rave It to Steve another guide who took one look and threw it In the river In protest I patted his face very kently mind with wet hands The next thing I knew I was grabbed from behind ind up in die middle of the Pipestone Creek Damp dude I was furious I had on ill clothes including a pair of brand new chaps last my when I went under Now Mike said that he Just meant to me by dipping feet and that 1 tripped over Steve I know was that I was in the river soaking wet while Mike was on shore dry I dont remember back out My first coherent thought was that Mike was too btk to push about foot inches So wiUi hands locked around him I dragged him to the of the river its what a person can do out of sheer rjke and Just as he started to break mj grip I fell over back wards into the water tint t any wetter anyhow pulling him with me much to the ment of the rest of the group Half an hour later after ing our boots and muttering at each other we hcided back to soaking wet Although I would have rather ridden somewhere else in the line of riders I decided to third in line behind Mike ind his girl that all the dust being stirred up further back t too well with my wet condition JjomJiM Presentations made at WI AND seasonable

lengthened about six inches and were getting a little ridiculous Much to my mortification Mike kept looking pointedly at them hanking far below my stirrups and grinning in the most smugly infuriating
