Sometimes in the summer we would go up the Lower Egypt Valley Road towhere the spring was (I'll tell more about that later) and there was alane that went up the hill to where a farmhouse once stood. There werefound a lot of blackberry bushes which we called thimbleberriesbecause they were big, over 1 1/2 inches long. We would have them fordessert with sugar and evaporated milk. We had a concentratedflavoring mixed with water to drink. It was called H0-MIX and came inflavors. Whenever we got thirsty we'd stop for a glass of H0- MIX. Itwas probably the forerunner of K00LAID.

The only lights we had in the cabin were Coleman gasoline lanterns andwe would read by it at evening. We had an outside "john" about 30 feetup the hill in back of the cabin with stone steps cut in the bank. Itwas a one holer surrounded by blinds we took off an very aged homesomewhere. You could sit inside and run the slats up and down to seeout. Sometimes we would take a gun with us and watch for partridgewhile we sat.
