Had I Had A Camera 'Me opportunity is now lost but had I had a camera Sunday morning I could have had a great picture that would have been reminiscent of those cattie drives of the good old days out west. Bull Bunting and I were on our way home late Sunday morning after having spent two and a half hours walking in the Ganaraska Forest. To say the least it was an interesting walk for both of us reliving past trips into the area. It was also an opportunity to recal Sid Rutherford's story of Mount Nebo at the northe rn end of Carscadden Road. 0f course at one lime we would have climbed over the mount but this Urne it was skirted just wa elirninate thie task of an almost vertical climb. Mount Nebo is srnall in size but does stand out distinctly in height in a sand dune that bas beeri protected with the plantingof poplar trees. 1We did once again test our skills ta travel in the forest and wa be mindful of the direction we were taking. Althougb the forest flooris mostly covered witb fallen leaves it is interesting to note the greens of some of the ferris and other plants still maintaining their green colouring. As to birds they have long gone with the exception of a couple of hawks, a small flock of Evening Grosebeaks, Nuthatches and of course Bluejays that still continue to cail out. But back to "If 'I had had a camera" which, of course, I didn't. We were travelling south on a sideroad from the eighth line wo the seventh which is located some over a mile east of Highway 115., Carl and James Lowery have been grazing caffle on the John Hooey farm which stretches, we would estimated, half way up the concession. Off in the pasture field was Carl Lowery walkiig, south followed by a string of some 60 wo 70 head of cattle that almost spr ead out over the entire length of the farm. Some were walking, some trotting and some running wo kcep rip. The sinigle file was somewhat impressive, in fact, Bill pulled the car over to the side of the road and we just watched While the single file procession continued south to the barri area on Courity Road 9. Speaking te Carl the next day in Orono hie said the cattle which wcre grazing at the nortb of the farm and are often feed in that area by mearis of a tractor with a big baie of bay were disrcgarding his inAt ~ Arund :'Y HME z~> 1Canada s 14-JatJonai ~IQ~U~ S1EARS SAVE 10%/ ON ALL IN - STOCK MERCHA NDISE FRYrIOM THREE GREAT CATALOGUES!

Jim Stevenson driving the tractor drove up the sideroad with a bale of hay on the fork lift and wheri catchirig the attention of the cattle turned south retumning wo the barni. The sound of the tractor told tie catule it was lunch Urne and if, the tractor was taldng lunch to the barrn then the cattle had to follow. Ariy buman 'would have donc the sanie tliing. The cattle soon caught up to Carl and followed him to the barni. It was a long procession of Carl and 60 te 70 .head of cautle. They soon settled ini the barnyard for a full lunch. It was an interesting sight and one not seen too oftcri these days. But perhaps 'you cari catch il a lunch Urne just east of Kirby.
