We're back at it and I hope to be able to keep up with what we've recorded!

The internet didn't exist, but that didn't stop Bill, Wade and Dad from finding new lands to explore and have dreams of cows dotting the area.

Dad shares more stories of him and his friends during high school and all of the learning they didn't do!

From back country snow shoe adventures to looking for beavers in the middle of the night, they were NOT model prisoners as were a lot of their fr...

When they were supposed to be weeding the cornfield, they could be found swinging dirt clods at school mates in Pete's Flume, in a battle for daily territory.
