This is a true story that started when I was around 16. I am now a senior citizen. In the 1960’s and 1970’s there were not many diseases like AI...S. The worst you got was a simple case of the CLAP, and you would have to take a few doses of penicillin.Here I was starting Junior High school in the 9th grade. That was when 7th, 8th, and 9th was the Junior high, or as you call it Middle School these days. I came from private schooling. Grade school was Kindergarten thru 8th grade. High school.

We had to climb some trees to wait out a bear, I hauling up the sledge by a rope while Dora kept the bear distracted with her shouting and throwing of branches. It took the bear a full day to grow weary and wander away, and we left the area as quickly as we could.There was still snow in the pass, and we dressed in our warm clothing, as it was chilly so high up this early in the spring. We made a cave in the snow for the three nights we were hiking above the snow line, and it was cozy and warm.
