Oh, when they had the garbage dump up there off the bluff road

Unknown Speaker 2:51
I don't remember when the dump is up there

Speaker 1 2:54
before it went up onto polio pass road I'm pretty sure I still think that just about where that picture was.

Unknown Speaker 3:02
I would 1935

Unknown Speaker 3:06
the size of this

Unknown Speaker 3:08
huge truck and I'd probably put a picture but that was a windstorm

yeah we do all that all day and winch on the trees down in the lower you right lessen the center everywhere oh good sized feet like that to

Unknown Speaker 3:35
get them down they just fell down

Unknown Speaker 3:38
in fact I remember

Speaker 1 3:44
the trees have all fallen down across the road that just about knew the road like the back of his hand goes up onto the problem the logs and next days to go on up the routes yeah my time into it was folks that I can't find the route on the other side the logs find me after about 10 to 15 minutes look around he realized that they'd fallen down just on the corner of the road and he got he hadn't realized that that was where the road turned and he was off to the side

Unknown Speaker 4:22
so they went in and cut up the trees

Speaker 1 4:27
no such things as powers house in those days all those hide all those logs had to be cut out by hand. Took awhile to clean the road. No small job

Unknown Speaker 4:51
okay, the tenant governor and party after the after the opening Move the hall

Unknown Speaker 5:02

Speaker 1 5:27
I am sure that pictures backwards because any other time I've seen it Paul's going to be standing up the other end there's a pulse guns here on the right the others I don't know who because that was same time as the lieutenant governor is over opening up the hall and you know hop on the bluffs weathers that plank we can sit on right up by the British church Shut up there and there's a quick big stump which is where this tree used to be that's what that picture right

Speaker 1 7:19
A lot of us old timers have a secret way of finding out how long people have lived over here how old timer they are. What's the name of that mountain? On sootel Of course right old timer was saying that mountain not Galliano. You come because every chart every picture everything everything you saw before the 1950s nonsuit Hill was next to the pass I'm gonna go ahead and buy the mountain to the month but monk go no no way monk ganando is the one closest to you not to us.

Unknown Speaker 8:00

princess or at least had two pieces 1936

Unknown Speaker 10:34
Do you remember the pen the queen?

Unknown Speaker 10:37
