with the big "cher-umb, cher-umb” of the big bullfrogs in the lilies along the river bank. Mary and Betty were usually early risers. They had the bacon and eggs frying and the coffee perking before Bev and I had our feet on the ground. The aroma of the bacon and coffee whetted our appetites and I must confess we ate as it it was "going out of style"! One of the nicest things that hap­ pened to us on our trip was getting acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Cook, who own one of the small farms in the river valley. Mr. Cook is a retired forester and he spent his entire service in this area. The Cooks gave us the use of their farm bam for our horses at night. Mr. Cook advised us on some of our most interesting trail rides. He said, "If you will come back in October when the autumn leaves are in full color, I’ll have OLE BLACKIE shod and will personally guide you on some of the more secluded trails." Minutes soon turned into hours and hours into days. All too soon, it was time to pack our gear, load our horses, and head back to our "Little 3 Ranch." We reached home relaxed, refreshed, and with a lot of pleasant memories and a keen desire to return with our horses to the clear cool waters and shady trails on the upper waters of Black River.
