Wednesday, June 20, 1962 Left Dickinson today after meeting shipping Mrs. Brown & Dr. Boyd Fossils. We headed west toward Miles City and on the way toured the south unit of the J. Rosewell Memorial Park. This is an area of Red Lands & Coulees rather well clothed in grass & Vegetation. Red lands have always fascinated me and I particularly liked this one because of its beautiful colors (soft finish purples, reds, & tans), as burning coal slams and emerald meadows. The place certainly is a memorial to T.B. If I had been he I don't think I would have emerged to become president. Nature is beautiful this spring and ranch country right.

"our lack of fuel to avoid riding. Wednesday, August 8, 1962 Rode up Swede Creek 4 miles or so to head on Hopiti Bridge to hunt for frzels. Another rained. Returning below a cliff we were almost totaled by a large rock falling from the rim. A large gust of wind hit the rim in a place which had slid in the spring. It began to crumble then stopped and we thought we would be able to get across. Of course just as we reached the middle of the slide and a large chunk let go and began to fall at us. (Don, Bonnel, John & me) she scampered to one side and ducked beneath some boulders but the big one broke into small ones after hitting a large one. So we

were safe. Did go lost returning from the hill going too far down the spot while we let left the horses. A nice ride down the creek with me staying in front of Doc.
