Somewhat This week due to a shortage of horses at the corral I had to miss the mile ride into camp over Gibbon Pass in the rain and sleet and settle for a second breakfast with the camp bosses and a seven mile Jaunt truck up a fire road to one of the wardens cabins There I became very industrious and led the pack horses here and there or held horses for saddling The packing is quite Interesting Everything to go into camp food duffle camp supplies hay and gram has to be packed in The ID pack horses are kept bus Pick line After being loaded some are head and tailed the lead from the hatter of one horse is to the tail of the one ahead and are led off while the rest follow along behind loose They things like sieves over noses so they wander off to browse and get left behind Anyhow the pack tram set off with me camp boss Ron Warner and bead packer Tim bringing up the rear for a lazy short cut ride to camp in time for me to doze the sun the sun fuialh shone for a couple of hours before the riders arrived Morula 1 started the day off well as part of the threegal team washing breakfast dishes for 60 people Next came the making of hnch sandwiches for the people left in camp 10 or 12 loaves of sandwiches are sent out with the for their picnic lunch but I hadnt offered to make those There is a limit to my indus- tnousDess We d just finished lunch when a fisherman who was using Nicky my horse of last week came walking back to camp Nicky had a long gash on one leg from a shamrock Blood was pulsing out regularly and the Vet was out with the pack train so Ron went into action Horse plaster He grabbed a pan of water for heating vegetables a pan of flour two dish towels and an apron and headed for the corral First he washed off all the mud with the apron sprayed the gash with antibiotic spray then filled one towel with flour and plastered it to the horses leg The second towel followed and I wrung out the apron and wound it around the outside fastening It by ties A length of binder twine secured the whole thing for a wry effective If not professional looking bandage The rest of the afternoon I made horse bandages out of an old laundry bag and embroidered daisies on the ends just for the heck of it and sewed patches on a guides jacket where mice had been digging for down And peeled about ISO potatoes And acquired a blister So today I sitting doing very little but read write and talk This is the life for a day or so lift of the premises never hurts and It may attract a purchaser for the first time but only congeniality honest value and good service keeps customers Diverting heavy traffic from the business district will also help but by that I do not mean that this noisy and dangerous traffic should be Inflicted upon other sec tions of the town He

attract visitors to Acton He called It a Medieval festival and summarized it as being a giant block party Mr Nielsen told the Free Press of small town in England that attracts people from all over Europe and North America to a week long festival with a long community feasting table a town jester and a medieval theme He suggested local store fronts be altered to coincide with the theme of the
