Gerry Milbratz McCullom Lake Travelers Adventure Off Into Wilderness PAGE 13 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER ». 1*74 385-8543 Many Complaints Made About Dogs Running Loose There are still many com plaints about dogs running loose, bothering pegple, ' and damaging property. Daytime hours and late at night seem to be the times when this problem is the worst. Residents are reminded that dogs must be on a leash, and failure to comply will result in a fine. VOTING Oct. 8, was the last day to register for the upcoming election. McCullom Lake residents vote at the beach house, which will be open from 6 a.m. - 6 p.m. on election day, Nov. 5. SYMPATHY Condolences to the family of Mrs. Alee "Bobbie" Carroll, on her death Oct. 2. Mrs. Carroll, a former McCullom Lake resident, and member of the Ladies of the Lake, had been living in Wonder Lake with her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. James Carroll, for the past 5 few years. BIRTHDAY PARTY Tuesday, Oct. 1, was Andrea Row's fifth birthday, and she celebrated the occasion with a party. Her guests were her brother, Jacques, Tony and Lisa Martini , Joey and Bob Raycraft, Pattie Wolf, Charlene Straumann, Shawn Miller, and Mike and Pattie Regner. The kids had lots of fun playing games, winning prizes, and helping Andrea eat her cake and ice cream. MODEL AIRPLANE FLYING When Glenn and Donna Gates had Lenn's parents, Ben and Vi, over for dinner, Glenn got out his old model airplane which hadn't been used in 15 years. The weather was nice, so the adults, along with Glenn and Donna's boys, Mike and Roger, went down to the beach, to try out the plane. After a little renovating, it worked fine and the kids were thrilled to see the way their daddy made it go round and round. Un- fortuantely, the plane going round and round was more dizzying than fun for Glenn, and most likely it ' ll b put away for another 15 years, till the boys are old enough to fly it themselves. INDIANA VISIT Mrs. Harriet MacNamara returned home Oct. 3, following a busy 6 day stay with her sister, Mrs. Erna Pagel, in Plymouth Ind The sisters had a good time, visiting with lots of friends, going out for dinners, and catching up on the latest news. Mrs. MacNamara's son, Richard, drove her to Plymouth, and her other son, Tom, brought her back, when she was ready to return home. BUSINESS AND PLEASURE TRIP While friends watched their children, Gloria Muise was able to accompany her husband. Bob, on a business trip to Minnesota. They stayed in Mnneapolis, did some sight­ seeing and thought the city was beautiful, and people ex­ tremely friendly. On their return home they discovered their children, Robbie and Mike, had enjoyed the variety, as much, or more than they mad The kids liked it so much with the baby-sitters, Roger and Bev Saunders, that 5 year old Robbie told his parents they should have stayed away for two weeks, instead of just three days. SURPRISE PARTY A surprise greeted Karen Parks when she went to Jackie Raycraft 's house a few weeks ago, supposedly for a meeting. At the house were friends who had gotten together to have a surprise birthday party for Karen. Besides Jackie, there were Ginny Franklin, Barb Caron, Donna Gates, Lolly Rowe, Cindy, Martini and Kathy Regner. They sang "Happy Birthday", and coffee and cake and all had a great afternoon. Her firends made number 30, a happy one. IN HOSPITAL For the fourth time since his accident last March, Richard Penny is once again a patient in McHenry hospital. He is un­ dergoing tests, and there is a possibility of surgery in the near future. Friends who wish to send cards may write care of McHenry Hopsital, Room 221. BIRTHDAY The first birthday this week happens to be mine. On Oct. 10, I ' ll be ?? years old. Happy birthday to Steve Penny, Oct. 12, Vi Sullivan, Oct. 13, Ricky Branham and Barb Caron, Oct. by Rev. Wm. Hanner The ability to make up one's mind is an estimable quality. My old Army colonel used to say, "Learn to make up your mind! Don't stand doing nothing! For --sake DO SOMETHING!" When one is in Idaho Falls starting off westward it is necessary to do SOMETHING. One road, plainly four lane limited access beckons to the south. Another, two lanes, No. 20, runs west for 202 miles with only two towns of mentionable worth upon it. Which do you take? Play it safe and go where everyone else goes? or adventure off into the wilderness, heart condition and all, seeking adventure! for there--on the lonely road lay the Craters of the Moon Mational Monument. Here there has been volcanic activity from 2 million years ago up to 2000 years ago The car was gassed and oiled. The main in the filling station said,"if I was going to Boise I 'd take the road across the desert past the park. It is good. It is shorter, It is traveled. "So off we started. 14, and to Ruth Fromandi, Oct. 15. t DANCE TICKETS ON SALE Tickets for the Beach Gals sponsored "Harvest Moon Dance" have been printed and are now being sold. The dance will be held Nov. 9, at the beach house and tickets may be purchased form any of the beach gals. Proceeds from Beach Gal events go towards children's activities throughout the year. The Gals feel it is better to sponsor a couple of big fund raising events each year than lots and lots of small ones to raise money. They are hopeful of a very large turnout for the dance, which will be a lot of enjoyment for people, as well as helping a worthy cause. HALLOWEEN PARTY The annual children's Halloween party will be held Halloween night, 7:30 p.m. at the beach house. All kids who live in the village are invited to attend. There will be a parade, costume judging and refresh­ ments. Plan to attend. REMINDER Ladies of the Lake meeting, Thursday, Oct. 10, at the beach house. It 's the Halloween party meeting where prizes will be awarded for best costumes. At first we rode along over a straight road-then atomic plants of various uses began to appear. We passed a huge truck attended by a sheriff's car with the revolving lights working, proceeding at a slow pace. Big signs on the truck warned of active atomic material. There was a lot of travel. Sixty six miles out we came to the only real town we were in till night. Here, at Arco, population 1,233, elevation 5,300 feet, founded in 1879 we stopped. This is the first community in the world to be lit by atomic power Somewhat of an historical ingredient of our times is Arco. Here we paused, and in a pretty fair store got a good assortment of foods for our lunch in an hour or so at the Crater of the Moon National Park. No food is served there. Crater of the Moon Park is the site of many and repeated lava flows. These flows, one upon the other, of different sorts and kinds of lava material, eroded, recovered, weathered and covered again, cover many square miles, They extend beyond the park which is in area 83 square miles. They give the appearance of the moon to the land as seen thru a telescope-hence the name. Here right before you are different types of lava and its flows. They were deposited many centuries ago. You can see where they ran around a hill burning, covering its base and leaving its upper part to trees and grass as they were before. The lava appears billowy, ropy, smooth, bubbled, tubelike, fallen-in-upon, twisted and pleated. On occasion it has hardened frothily. You can see the old cones from which it spread. Other flows of lava left behind them sharp jagged rocks. These flows have overun earlier extrusions. It takes a good geologist to untangle the skeins Of volcanic history. Plants and animals that can adopt to the hard and rugged situation soon begin to appear. Botanists and zoologists have a pattern of plant and animal life to study. A seven mile drive winds thru a portion of the park. There are side trips from it, where on foot you follow paths to show places and developments of peculiar interst. Everywhere along the road as we continue west are great huge piles of baled hay for the animals winter feeding.

The severity of winter is foretold by the snowpoles marching beside the road at intervals of 50 to 300 yards standing ten feet tall. Their purpose is to warn the winter traveler in storms or after snowy days where the edge of the road lies. There are many farms but they lie miles apart. Over this lonesome trail there is however a constant string of cars of from two to ten per ten miles of travel. Night found us in Mountain Home, Idaho. There were no accommodations for a retired officer at the local Air Base so we stopped in town at a very good clean motel where for $13.50 we had a fine large double bedded room. It was upstairs which I try to avoid. After this fine room the lady sen t us to the poorest dinner we had had so far. Next morning we found our breakfast in a dining room where half the town was gathered and the baking was done in an enclosed and glassed bakery before your eyes. You saw dinner rolls rise half way while you ate their breakfast predecessors. Traveling is an experience in lots of things. meeting and show concern tor your community. We want to accomplish more next year to beautify our neighborhood, help with projects that will induce more people to make the move to a concerned subdivision.

The cards will arrive in approximately three weeks and we all appreciate the efforts of the buyers and sellers. Our next club meeting has not been announced as yet.
