Unknown Speaker 0:01
So tell me about your dad in the fuel from Cooper Allen and they come in via Wolfram like you know, oh my god please they'd walk up there and it's all sit around in the circle outside and they'd all go in there my dad could speak Indian veteran he could English really? Oh yeah. Wow. Like he because his mother was Indian from Cooper and they all got her no language and I never paid attention but none of us get because you know didn't mean nothing to us really when you're growing up Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 0:35
And so they just yeah, he's

Unknown Speaker 0:38
good

Unknown Speaker 0:40
you didn't somebody learn us to learn a few words? No, not really. I'll probably did that but I never

Unknown Speaker 0:48
remember how to count not anymore.

Unknown Speaker 0:52
I really used to do I used to come

Unknown Speaker 0:56
but because my dad he

Unknown Speaker 0:59
we all lived in this house and we're like 13 other centers and you get up and we had you play and mush and other thought sucks. Any good great big part of us until he got up got the Fargo you reach in there and he counted Indian mendini just throw a handful in and handful and a handful in

Unknown Speaker 1:18
the pot boiling

Unknown Speaker 1:20
yards to get up and away we go so how much would these guys buy? Oh, sacks like we had lots of sheep we had

Unknown Speaker 1:29
I really don't know how but they've come to three times in my life of life all the best. Really? Black bullets because that would be for the design where yeah, these are for couch and sweater. Yes. Yeah. So what time period are we talking about like me? See?

Unknown Speaker 1:47
About nine Dean 43 So we're set

Unknown Speaker 1:54
so they would they buy it or trade? Cash?

Unknown Speaker 2:00
Can we remember how much maybe 50 cents a sack or something like that? My dad could release your sheep he was he was really good at

Unknown Speaker 2:10
the old Creamery while when they had a fare down again just like

Unknown Speaker 2:18
he could donate when the sheep sharing contest every year. So they give him like a 20 pound box of butter from the creamy and eco home as

Unknown Speaker 2:26
well as made her own butter

Unknown Speaker 2:29
and then we got store buy butter that was a treat. And real

Unknown Speaker 2:35
Yeah, Starbuck

Unknown Speaker 2:37
my mother they delicious breads you made lots of rice you made a 10 loaves a week because there were so many of us what was it was homemade bread was it by hand and shadow bread makers

Unknown Speaker 2:50
Wow, we're right from scratch by the flour and 100 pound bags

Unknown Speaker 2:55
and

Unknown Speaker 2:57
I was really good but it was kind of like a treat dust get some Bufferin to Yeah, because it was different.

Unknown Speaker 3:04
My kids are the same way like we make our own bread and get the store but

Unknown Speaker 3:11
that'd be that that property or the old the old ancestral

Unknown Speaker 3:17
place I mean the other side of a firmer here yeah 13 Yeah, that were probably that come I think I can remember that that's the or area right there.

Unknown Speaker 3:28
So do you do you recall any stories that your dad told you about the native people in Salt Spring and you said tell me about one the Indians come from so awesome across Oh yeah. And these guys from this are like Cooper and Galliano and all the main island and they used to go fight and Equifax those guys who used to come over and steal all their everything they could, you know, the women and their kids and whenever they can carry in a canoe.

Unknown Speaker 3:58
When they come through actor past all these guys that go there and they shoot arrows down and I'm gonna throw rocks or whatever they could, you know, so you're fighting with the tuason. But there'd be some relations there. I don't know, probably was

Unknown Speaker 4:13
what they wanted to read different tribes, I guess. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 4:18
He used to tell me that and him and him and his brother. He had 11 sisters and one brother. And that's who I was named after his brother. Okay. And they used to go down to Fernwood area like Walker Hooker and watch them when they come through. Then they run away home and they were only kids

Unknown Speaker 4:37
needs or they're fighting then they when I was a kid, I could hear the tom toms drums going from Cooper Island all the time in our place. When they had to potlatches there was big houses used to have on the beach. I guess your family ever went to any of those or Yeah, my dad did several times.

Unknown Speaker 4:56
But yeah, okay. The drummer is going from our

Unknown Speaker 5:00
I was wow

Unknown Speaker 5:02
and then I never thought about not about it because just during the war that made him quit or whatever happened there potlatches

Unknown Speaker 5:09
Do you remember a native people come down here to clam Oh yeah. Where was it up Hudson pointlessly Hudson point this the squat?

Unknown Speaker 5:20
Did you talk about that? You remember where they kept there? I can't I don't really think so. I can't remember that. I can remember seeing gone from main island to Cooper island for their potlatches when no one arrived. I don't know how they knew when the spotlight was going to happen. But they did.

Unknown Speaker 5:41
Send smoke signals, the word of mouth. People go send out invitations from what I know. And they had canoes and egg rolls and rolls. Really. But they were dugouts. Yep. dugout canoes they roam like robots. So you would see these as a kid home by Fernwood Wow. Like how many at a time like one or two one or two the next day one or two the next day whatever what do you put in your teeth? Oh just nothing actually straight up great

Unknown Speaker 6:12
yeah

Unknown Speaker 6:15
Do you remember the replay did the cleansing and walking remember them camping there ever? Yeah, no I can't remember the memory cap on there but I know they went there

Unknown Speaker 6:24
no Hudson points into the main I used to go and dig plant at some point myself and we sell them and sacks. Really? Yeah. It's still very

Unknown Speaker 6:35
you still got down no

Unknown Speaker 6:42
I can make mean plan shorter.

Unknown Speaker 6:46
Good clam chowder.

Unknown Speaker 6:49
Me

Unknown Speaker 6:59
So tell me about this winds guy.

Unknown Speaker 7:02
Yeah, his wife's name was Amy.

Unknown Speaker 7:05
Done him him and my folks are friends like because they all drove horses whenever had

Unknown Speaker 7:13
my dad used to get really mad at him because he didn't look after sources of good as my dad did.

Unknown Speaker 7:23
He's the guy to live down at Walker's hook.

Unknown Speaker 7:27
Corner forestry but

Unknown Speaker 7:29
he was a good guy

Unknown Speaker 7:32
we used to

Unknown Speaker 7:34
he led us horses Oh neat alongside the road. And they were nice. All horses there were tame like all horses. This is a walking tour. Welcome walking along. And if we fall into this horse's feet and alongside the road with a golf pylon and go for a ride, there's like six kids piling on one horse

Unknown Speaker 8:01
I'm curious about the history of sort of where I live. Like I live in the bay there. And what what was it like when you were a kid there that you recall with a lot was their log dumped down there. I logged on I Love

Unknown Speaker 8:15
My first job good.

Unknown Speaker 8:20
Tell me about

Unknown Speaker 8:24
my brother drove cat fur guy by name and Bill Swanson. Who actually does this fun Swanee pond up and Rainbow Road there. That was his property. I actually worked on that too with him. I was the children on the garden. My older brother Bruce was the cab driver.

Unknown Speaker 8:42
And I was in town. At school. I was going to school and Bruce and Phil Swanson were in town.

Unknown Speaker 8:51
And I was down there and I said what are you guys doing in town this time of day and they said I choke them and just quit and I said, Well, you just have another one. I'm ready for a job.

Unknown Speaker 9:02
So I got to work. I went to her for them. And I was long time before my folks did figure it out that I had quit school. I just go to go to work like I was going to school, take my lunch and we were actually falling down a walker hook. Well, what were they where were they logging down there? Right up above Fourth Street. Okay.

Unknown Speaker 9:25
That's probably the first existence of Fourth Street when we're loud enough on there with us on since cat so they're hauling logs down for see. Yep, well, the forest you didn't exist then. There was no street there. We just the Logan road coming down.

Unknown Speaker 9:40
And we'd follow these trees in the yard encounter lots of hemlock up in there. Right and run all Hemlock that stump like crazy. And then they were waterlogged when you put them in the water and on their net sink so you'd have to put a strap around them and put a dog in to hold it another loss so they won't say

Unknown Speaker 10:00
I was

Unknown Speaker 10:02
just

Unknown Speaker 10:04
doing them in the bay there.

Unknown Speaker 10:07
I worked on the bone there.

Unknown Speaker 10:09
So did they actually have a lock down there? I noticed along the way there's some old houses they're like this is where my neighbors live now on the other side sort of cabins there, right

Unknown Speaker 10:19
you know ROTC was announced right down in the roster you

Unknown Speaker 10:24
see where we went down onto the beach? He didn't go further up at all no, because there's a winter selling old rusted winch down there and

Unknown Speaker 10:33
I probably worked on that

Unknown Speaker 10:36
probably part of our language Yeah. But that's where they've done what's right in the Wall Street and then we take the locks down or push them in the water

Unknown Speaker 10:46
and one time was down there I found that all staff hammer I don't even know where it's at. I got a little staff hammer here from Bill Swanson with a number on it

Unknown Speaker 10:54
from

Unknown Speaker 10:56
I can tell where it's at right now.

Unknown Speaker 11:00
kicking around here someplace. So who would be living down there just this one fella and there's a guy down in the

Unknown Speaker 11:09
Ross street what

Unknown Speaker 11:11
probably Ross

Unknown Speaker 11:13
Yeah. Fred Ross that was his name he worked in what store?

Unknown Speaker 11:18
You ever hear a story of a plum orchard down there?

Unknown Speaker 11:22
No, I talked to Nate lady she said he's gonna walk in somebody's out of plum orchard that doesn't ring a bell I don't know if it was right down at Watkins hook like near the beach or what? Probably right down on what's his name's place

Unknown Speaker 11:41
right down in the hook because there's all kinds of fruit trees down in there. Yeah, like you know the grassy areas yeah he's yeah, there's some fruit trees have one in there but who owns a property called well Colas yeah

Unknown Speaker 11:55
they live in down there there. Somebody down there? I can't there was a house there but I don't know. actually lived in it.

Unknown Speaker 12:05
I don't know if they ever lived there. I can't remember. Maybe a sort of a summer place

Unknown Speaker 12:11
was a pretty big house.

Unknown Speaker 12:13
If you go there you can see where it was. Yeah. burnt down or fell down or something. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 12:21
Interesting.

Unknown Speaker 12:24
So I'm told me about those anchors again, just so I get that down on the tape. Well, I got those from Donald Fernwood. Yeah, and they just come walking along and I kick one one day night and I seen the hole in and I thought it was a hole for blasting.

Unknown Speaker 12:40
Well, why would anybody blast the rock the small so I dug it up and there was an anchor and Scrounger Alphonse I'll show you some arrows. Yeah, so yeah.

Unknown Speaker 12:52
No, but in the same area so I'm curious is it was this same relation to the don't work were about

Unknown Speaker 13:00
to the left to the left in that sort of?

Unknown Speaker 13:04
Bay Area. Okay. So maybe less than 100 feet from the dinette area. So that would be the old probably the old canoe landing area is quite shallow there you know when the tide goes out this No it's old till you bar that goes out to about where the dark goes

Unknown Speaker 13:24
and yeah, tell me again about that was interesting that account of the how the anchor the canoe, ride that

Unknown Speaker 13:33
take a rope, I'm guessing made the ropes on the deer right or whatever heater

Unknown Speaker 13:41
then they'd coil it up and they'd bounce the bouncy anchor right on top of it. So just bounce then they had the other end tied to the shore well along rope push as hard as they could and then they pull it

Unknown Speaker 13:54
on the anchor would top off off into the water. And then they'd make that even faster the shore. Yeah. That and then when they wanted to go get him in, they just take the shoreline and pull hard and that would come in because the those their anchors are rounded on the bottom so they won't grab into the into the rocker, whatever Stoner.

Unknown Speaker 14:15
And you mentioned a significant thing about shaper, the anchors

Unknown Speaker 14:20
there to drop like,

Unknown Speaker 14:22
yeah, so they don't grab in and just drag along. And of course, it doesn't take very much to hold a canoe. Just the way to the anchor. I'll do it. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 14:32
I kinda think the bigger the canoe the bigger the anchor they used.

Unknown Speaker 14:37
Yeah, like those are quite heavy anchors. They'd be for pretty big, maybe even working on. Yeah, definitely a big one. That's where, I mean, those are definitely a native occupation. You can see the mid and along. Yeah, lots of

Unknown Speaker 14:53
lots of shells and when they were heavy, they probably came there and got their plans.

Unknown Speaker 15:00
Maybe he stayed for a few days and Potlatch I don't know.

Unknown Speaker 15:04
Who knows I mean a lot of these old sites now and they haven't really been well studied at all some that are really old and new

Unknown Speaker 15:14
but well let's look at those arrowheads

Unknown Speaker 15:18
if they're handy

Unknown Speaker 15:21
so are you consulted

Unknown Speaker 15:24
for on from Saskatchewan? Oh anybody else in this

Unknown Speaker 15:31
like you know that you're not

Unknown Speaker 15:35
40 years so maybe I

Unknown Speaker 15:37
can

Unknown Speaker 15:44
very close to 40 years well it's Wow You must like it

Unknown Speaker 15:49
well you connect with this huge family it's like all over the world you've been Sunday's reunion say oh yes amazing

Unknown Speaker 15:57
because like that Rocky is really amazing way to piece together all these genealogies and connections

Unknown Speaker 16:04
it's huge

Unknown Speaker 16:09
There you go. Oh yeah. This handle off of these are old hammers. I don't know where the rest Oh yeah.

Unknown Speaker 16:19
No, that would be from a club Yeah. That'd be for boxing

Unknown Speaker 16:25
club or some really

Unknown Speaker 16:29
busted in the crack go whack somebody too hard. Is it

Unknown Speaker 16:33
slay beads are yeah

Unknown Speaker 16:37
these are cool. slates these could be pretty old. Oh yeah. There's one real nice a real sharp

Unknown Speaker 16:44
I mean that whistling Yeah, you know the right philosophy that would go through anything. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, that's that's an even though because the real start point. You remember where you found these? Yeah, done for him would these would all be from firm would

Unknown Speaker 17:00
I see the picture those record keeping?

Unknown Speaker 17:04
You can take it outside? We're stealing what might be actually this thing

Unknown Speaker 17:12
do you want me to put

Unknown Speaker 17:19
this in there to see if we can get them all just so I can see each one sort of?

Unknown Speaker 17:24
That's another old one. That's pretty bow and arrow? I think so. atlatl points

Unknown Speaker 17:30
that's another one of these slight knives

Unknown Speaker 17:39
Yeah, no, no, it's funny.

Unknown Speaker 17:44
It could be part of a lab rat you know these things I used to put in there every year

Unknown Speaker 17:52
when they got thirsty

Unknown Speaker 17:55
just out to get a shot I want to get everyone Sudha

Unknown Speaker 18:03
a little a little friends a real professional here I would have some kind of a

Unknown Speaker 18:10
scale

Unknown Speaker 18:12
ruler. Oh yeah. Do you have a little talk around the hall

Unknown Speaker 18:20
Yeah, that's an old fashioned drill. Like the hole is drilled in the base of this stone club. I couldn't find the rest of

Unknown Speaker 18:29
the rest of this club. No, I couldn't find it. Oh probably stuck in somebody's head

Unknown Speaker 18:37
it's an odd material you know it's kind of fragile. Yeah, shifts do something Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 18:46
But they made a lot of things is that anything was perfect. Yeah, I think that'll be that'll be good. Just don't do it right here

Unknown Speaker 18:57
turned

Unknown Speaker 18:59
up might make some Why not very light

Unknown Speaker 19:03
flashing

Unknown Speaker 19:07
helps a little bit

Unknown Speaker 19:16
the work yeah. Since I get used to this high tech camera, you guys have one of these things? No, no, it's beyond me.

Unknown Speaker 19:29
That

Unknown Speaker 19:30
is the beauty of these things. You can take the picture. So you put it right in the screen there.

Unknown Speaker 19:37
You just it's just a whole different way. Then you go back and there's your picture. Then your chain you know if you don't like it you can delete it. That's the always know what kind of picture you took rather than the old fashioned way which I still use. Oh yeah. And this club Chuck.

Unknown Speaker 19:59
What's working

Unknown Speaker 20:00
For

Unknown Speaker 20:02
sure that's good tea

Unknown Speaker 20:11
good

Unknown Speaker 20:15
clubs really interesting

Unknown Speaker 20:22
so these were found on the beach or just Yeah, incidentally gardening or mostly on the beach. Yep. Great

Unknown Speaker 20:32
that's all my questions

Unknown Speaker 20:38
this amazing like a piece like this, you know, it'd be so well preserved. I mean that's that's pretty fragile.

Unknown Speaker 20:45
nationality are you Chris?

Unknown Speaker 20:49
mix of everything. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 20:52
See about a half English quarter Norwegian when a small very

Unknown Speaker 21:00
dark? Yeah. My Dad Yeah, I'm a member of taboo, which is a Maori tribe. I have found the Zealand to my father, but through blood and like an eighth. Probably the same as you maybe native content?

Unknown Speaker 21:15
Quarter Okay.

Unknown Speaker 21:18
Definitely, yeah. But in the, in New Zealand,

Unknown Speaker 21:22
they don't.

Unknown Speaker 21:24
You know, unlike Canada, the the tribe decides who the members are. So our, our tribe recognized membership through genealogy, which is the old traditional way, which was, you know, who you're descended Trump. And, in fact, to be a member of nightowl, who you have to, you know, prove descent from

Unknown Speaker 21:40
an ancestor listed in this blue book, which was the census done in 1848. So if you have to trace ancestry from any individual, that book were descended from for those people.

Unknown Speaker 21:51
And so I have all the rights of Omari

Unknown Speaker 21:55
down there. Well, basically, that's the way they do it here, too, you know, you have to be connected to the tribe. Yeah, that's the way it is now. Wasn't that way before though,

Unknown Speaker 22:06
you lose your status, like a native woman would marry a white man. She'd lose her status. Yeah. It was crazy. And now, and as a result of that system, I mean, we set out to, you know, sort of destroy the native government governance system, but but under that system, I mean, I know white people, white women who are full fledged Indians, they got their full fledged Indian status that are no, not at all, just because they happen to marry a male. But this has changed now, as I understand, maybe they still get the status. But But yeah, it was it was not the same rule wasn't applied to women. No, no. And it caused a lot of trouble. You know, kids that were disenfranchised, and they kind of just broke up families and divorce people from their connections.

Unknown Speaker 22:53
But um, but my family's number 14 rated Vancouverite. So my, I can, I can barely remember when they all started bringing that stuff down with those Indians were allowed to go do their own thing, like have their potlatches and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, that was in the chaser.

Unknown Speaker 23:14
When they started it, it actually had effects in different parts of BC over time now, but during the war, they wouldn't

Unknown Speaker 23:23
do any of that stuff at all.

Unknown Speaker 23:26
Really, there was a big effort to stop it or

Unknown Speaker 23:31
get them off. Get them away from their natural heritage altogether. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 23:38
And then the Yeah, and that was their economy, like fishing and hunting was a native economy. And yeah, it was quite sustainable for

Unknown Speaker 23:46
1000s of years. Really? Yeah, they did. Okay. Yeah, no, they did. They did, okay, because

Unknown Speaker 23:53
the system worked fine. resources weren't depleted. And then they started getting once they started separating the natives from their economy. They became poverty cases, and they ended up on you lived on a reserve, you know, in the old days, when they flipped on their little plot of land, the village, I mean, they, they always had access to different places. Yeah, they could go to beaches to clam or pine, some, you know, that kind of life that they had and definitely done in a seasonal way. Do you remember your dad are talking about that? Or, you know, family? No, he was.

Unknown Speaker 24:26
He was pretty well wait, then, you know, he lived on the farm and worked on the farmer army. Belong to farmers and students? Imagine Yeah, I can probably do a gym.

Unknown Speaker 24:38
Because I'm wondering what is that what you're saying about that connected with the farmers and student representatives? Like maybe they only represented a certain group of farmers on the island? Maybe it wasn't all inclusive. Probably. I don't really know.

Unknown Speaker 24:51
Did they not have a membership thing going way back or do you know what they do? But they actually no one's ever put it together?

Unknown Speaker 25:01
Are you a member that pharmacists do? No, I'm not a farmer.

Unknown Speaker 25:06
Although you don't have to be really you know, I don't I don't think so or just have an interest in farming

Unknown Speaker 25:14
so anyway, first moved here, you know, we sort of have that idea of being back to the landers and we got 10 acres on September and grew garlic for a few years. We kept their foreign status for about six or seven years but man a lot of work just to grow enough to meet the requirement off of the farm status of the day which was I think 1500 bucks you have to make

Unknown Speaker 25:35
and so we made that a little bit over that and then it started going on now I hear it's up who knows where it's even more difficult.

Unknown Speaker 25:44
Yeah, that's amazing. But it was probably you know, what was it like when when your dad was running the farm it's sort of a mixed farm he had sheep and yes, yeah, mostly sheep. Mostly she

Unknown Speaker 25:57
you know, when I was a kid we never had two nickels to rub together. No money at all. I never saw any money but we never went hungry at all. If you want to somebody just go out and shoot a deer chop your head off a chicken or whatever happens to be handy and yeah, assume of my mom lots of times got a new job it off the chicken we'll have that chicken for supper that night in the studio.

Unknown Speaker 26:22
Good to a Oh yeah. So what would be luxuries in that lifestyle? And you'd have all your meat and veggies?

Unknown Speaker 26:29
I guess sugars in that salt would be Yeah, that debate. If you wanted to get that kind of stuff like flour and stuff he used to come in 100 pound sacks mush and sugar and whatever heavy and then you'd only get a once in a while and you had some money. Yeah. My dad was about the hardest working man Oliver North. He just worked from daylight to dark every day.

Unknown Speaker 26:53
And of course he never got fade 90% of the time because of that and money. Yeah

Unknown Speaker 26:59
you just get away so well to the Indian shopkeeper Island guys so look to the New City got work once a while like illegal logging.

Unknown Speaker 27:08
Nice logging No, no, his horses were farm horses. Oh, okay. He go all in again. He used to plow a field or flower garden for somebody and get paid to $3 and then go home again. He'd be gone all day because it took all day to go to Ganges. Yeah, we had some cousins down Isabella point and if we went to visit them we have to go on a long weekend because we couldn't go down and back and on a weekend what would be the route you take straight through Ganges what down fairway down? Yeah right from Fernwood right down through Ganges and right to its development.

Unknown Speaker 27:45
And I guess we went around the old road which would which is now Betis road. Was that the only route? Yeah, over the over the switchback. Right.

Unknown Speaker 27:56
But then

Unknown Speaker 27:58
we'd get there in time for software we left the morning

Unknown Speaker 28:01
stay a couple of nights and third when he would leave and come home again to get on night.

Unknown Speaker 28:10
Took a long time. Amazing.

Unknown Speaker 28:13
Yeah, so that one thing another thing I want to ask you about the road walkers. So crow between Fernwood and somebody told me that road used to end like around Fourth Street like you're coming from Ganges. Oh, well, could you go through there was as long as I can remember. Yeah, there was always some route. John Limsa. That road there riding into photo walk or Fourth Street went right to John winces yard.

Unknown Speaker 28:42
Every year he blocked that road off for 24 hours to claim it to keep claim of it.

Unknown Speaker 28:49
Lots of times we go along there you couldn't go through you'd have a fence across the road really? And then the next day can go through again but he had to do that to keep the landline over I guess or whatever. Really? Yeah, people was there sort of a farm in that area like see west of his place? She No no, no.

Unknown Speaker 29:12
He had the biggest clear junk around there I'm quite sure. But yeah, it's not really suitable area of farming anymore

Unknown Speaker 29:26
yes

Unknown Speaker 29:31
story this is a black guy, Jim Anderson who live down here. Yeah, no, I didn't really know him. I just wonder was that place always considered to be kind of a black community over the dip? What do you call it? Rubs and road? Yeah. Okay. That's that'd be the sort of the old Starks Yes.

Unknown Speaker 29:49
Who was your

Unknown Speaker 29:51
tweet? That was Willa Starks? Yeah, huge feet. were scared of me walk around all summer. No shoes on because he couldn't get shoes big enough for me.

Unknown Speaker 30:00
Yeah, and in the wintertime we get a biggest period with the kid and cut the toll offs as his toes could stick out. Because they weren't big enough for him to walk around in the snow and wintertime with with his toe stick and others rubber boots, obviously a tough guy.

Unknown Speaker 30:16
Well, what else are you gonna do? Really? And he would have lived up in this dark place? Yeah, well yeah.

Unknown Speaker 30:23
Yeah, I remember him coming to our house and we were scared to

Unknown Speaker 30:27
go hi

Unknown Speaker 30:33
kid thanks. Yeah

Unknown Speaker 30:39
well

Unknown Speaker 30:48
yeah, it was fun when you really think about it. I can understand. Are there certain of us in our family and how come some of us never got killed for the things we did? You know?

Unknown Speaker 31:00
Unbelievable. Like, give me an example. Well, we take our dads Reagan take their the shafts off it, tie ropes to that to the axle and that's how we steered it. We go down Fernwood Hill.

Unknown Speaker 31:15
We're going down or like 90 miles an hour because you got no brakes on these things. And everybody's got lean over to one side going around the corner. You flip it right over just like assembled. It's like a big wagon. Yeah. Hey, wagon. Rig. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 31:29

used to race along the road, on the railing on the dock.

Unknown Speaker 31:51
One guy get on each ramming and we raced out the end whoever got out there first one. But we'd always race out because he fell off coming in. You're going to hit on the beach but going out you'd want land up in the water. Then you'd have to swim to shore. Yeah, he kept going. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 32:08
Yeah, that time used to boil through that by that firm would balk something like crazy Lisa swim out there and I'll just jump in and swim like crazy. It's a wonder someone nerves got swept out to sea or something. Yeah, I've noticed that just drops off there and it just boil through there. And people cut salmon off that apparently. Come in there. At least a good catch caught off the bat.

Unknown Speaker 32:51

degree bit of a dip in the ground. Put some straw in there and then pilot pilot spuds in there. We had I guess there were like four feet, high spots and a big area. And then we put a bunch of straw over top and then we covered all over third. And that's how we care for I suppose to the winter

Unknown Speaker 34:15
and the guests could honor and dig a little hole in and reach in and pull out a bunch of sportsmen suffered. So this is sort of a hollow created by a cedar or something not just straw. He put straw underneath it and straw on top and then dirt over top of that looks like a big handsomeness. Okay. And then we'd go dig a hole in there and did they ever free? No, no, no. Yeah, I did that was potatoes. We moved here our little farm down there. Zach's thing we store in between plants and straw. Yeah, and they keep really well and the one year I didn't do annual throws No. Yeah, no that never frozen.
