Bud'll be 92 in October. He's knees are shot, so I can now keep up with him and even outwalk him, which I had to wait fifty years to do. He built that cabin with his own two hands when he was older than I am now. And two others, plus a fur shed, a garden shed, and a sawmill. The workmanship is unbelievable. Next week I go back to his other place, a property he traded for to establish another conservation easement. It's an old placer mining claim, lots of them, patented. Complete with a tiny little ghost town. Completely surrounded by National Forest. I'm working with him on it. I lost my Magruder Stick out hanging flagging for one of his projects. Have to go back and find it. It's in the deep brush, so I'll be lucky if I find it. I got my Magruder Stick to help me go down Magruder Mountain in 2007. It was a fire hardened alpine fir, and it was so hard I had a dickens of a time breaking it down to size with only my Ruana knife. But it got me down the mountain and stayed with me all night at the massacre site. I nearly lost my pistol there, but recovered it. When I got home I shaped the Magruder Stick into a walking stick, put a steel tip on it, put a leather loop on the grip, and woodburned in the history of the massacre, along with the names of the five men who were murdered on October 11, 1863. I hate to lose it. But if I can't find it--it's in a good place.
