We left Currey on Wed. and went to Cherry Creek which is a old miming town with around 40 houses there. We drove of the main canyon above the town and camped in a open gravel pit had some perrty rocks in it. It also is a really neat place to ride.

A couple of friends and I went to Nevada last week, the friend Bob and Shan went out Sunday the sixth of September I net them out there the eighth of September. We were 60 miles southe of Wells at a small place called Currey. We had out ATV four wheelers with us wanted to see if we could call in any coyotes didn’t have any luck, but we sure saw some neat area lots of fun to ride in.

I am a proud member of the NRA, I love to hunt and to shoot paper. If I’m hunting coyotes and smaller I use a Ruger 204 with a 32 grain bullet and it does a good job. I hunt mule deer every year I use a 308 Win. it is a good deer and elk caliber, I use a 150 grain bullet. For shooting paper I use handguns I have a Ruger GP 100 caliber 357 with a Burris fast fire on top, next is a Smith and Wesson 41 mag topped with a Burris fast fire sight and last is a Ruger Redhawk 44 mag topped with a Truglo reflex sight. All three shoot real good as do the rifles.

 Stacking loose hay into a stack  was a neat event in my life, my uncle Ronald would cut the hay and then after it cured enough to put it into the stack he would bunch rake the hay, into to small bunches of meadow hay. Then they would use a bigger outfit to push the small piles of hay to the beaver slide. The beaver slide was made of two big logs for the base on the ground, and cross logs to hold it together the there were two poles put up everything was braced, then they took rack that had pole forks on it and it would take the hay up and dump in the stack. They would pull the rack up with a team of horses, or use a tractor.  There was a man up on the stack who would move the hay around the stack so it was even, I used to help the guy on the stack, we would use pitchforks to move the hay where we wanted it. The hay was called wild hay and was used to feed the cows in the winter time.  Alfalfa hay was fed at milking time along  with barley which was ground.

Grandparents brought 100 baby chicks a year, got the chicks in January or February and kept them in the chicken coop, which had no heat in it. They had a metal hood which sat on cinder blocks had a light bulb in the middle of it which kept the chicks from getting to cold and freezing to death, as the chicks got older they were able to run out in the yard with the older chickens. My grandma would kill the older chicks and sell them for stewing hens, this was after the hens quit laying eggs. As the young chickens got older and started laying she would also kill and dress the young roosters and sell them for fryers, she took them to Montplier Idaho which was about six miles from where they lived. They sold both chickens and eggs to a store, this when it was legal to do so, you never heard of food poisoning at that time.
