1934 - Got to HeHe at 4:30 AM Saw Burke. Walked to Schoolie. Stud Muldoon moved over froom Badger. Pretty sleepy tonight. (HeHe to Schoolie, walking along the Warm Springs River is about 4+ miles - m)
1935 - Went down to the Agency after my check but didn't get it. Sure was hot today. Went to Pritchard's meeting in evening.
1936 - Digging ditches by the dairy barn. Went fishing this evening and caught two small trout in the creek.
1937 - Still painting. Was warm today. They put in a new turbine in the power house.
1938 - Was hot. Fished in the drift below the Butte but no luck. Sissy can set herself up now. (My oldest sister - m)
Note (06/04/09): Where the dairy barn used to be is now where the Utilities Department is in Warm Springs. Where the baseball fields are used to be the fields where the dairy cows were. Pete, Pudge and I were wading in Shitike Creek, maybe about 1950, when our dog Spike started chasing the milk cows. Mr. White, the dairy man, came after us on his horse, with his rifle. We beat feet back home in record time. He never came to our house, but we did see his horse standing outside the police station!
I'm guessing, but not sure, that according to my dad 75 years ago, this must have been the start of Global Warming (now Climate Change). Of course, he was from Alaska so 'hot' is all relative!
Also, my dad was at the Old Mill CCC, my mom (before their marriage) was cooking at the HeHe CCC. Later, when they married and started their family, they lived at the HeHe camp.
