After we got the cabin built we planted some pine trees in the yardalong the creek. I remember getting six pine trees from a nursery.They were so tiny that I carried them inside a tiny cereal box. Thelast time I was by there they were all living and about fifteen feettall. We named the camp "Hunting's End" and we had a sign on a postout by the road near the gate we made to keep people from driving in.When you crossed the bridge we had three stone and concrete steps upthe bank and Gordon cemented a sundial on top of a three foot highstone and concrete base. It was accurate and we used it to tell time.

This area of Bristol was sparsely populated in those days and therewas no house between the cabin and Honeoye. Sometimes we would needextra groceries and would go to Treble's store in Honeoye for them.After high School I went with his daughter Althea for a while. Webought most of our groceries in Canandaigua before we left for campand could get enough food for two of us for a month for $5. We boughtthem at a little grocery store on South Main Street owned by ErnieWatts. Most of our meals consisted of boiled ham, Pancakes and jello.We probably had other things but these are what I remember. Most ofour meat is what we got hunting. We often had fried squirrel, rabbitor partridge. We used to start hunting partridge right from the backdoor of the cabin and once Gordon got a bird about 100 feet up thehill. At times in the winter we would get up in the afternoon and seedeer and fox tracks in the snow within ten feet of the cabin. Thecabin was in a valley with a hill to the west so it would be almostdark by 4:30 PM so we would start a fire in the fireplace and eat ourdinners early. We would heat up the sliced boiled ham and eat it withpancakes. We had a large round cast iron griddle and cooked with it ontop of the wood stove. Clarence would make his pancake (always aboutone foot across) and then sit at a table in front of the fireplace toeat. While he ate his, I would cook mine and he would be done whenmine was ready. We took turns like this until we were full and then wewould eat our dessert together. We didn't have to hurry any as theevenings were long.
