He also refurbished the mail buggy his father drove as postmaster in Eagle Valley. Dale enjoyed gardening and talking about the history of the valley with family and friends. He spent many after- noons sitting on his front porch with his dog Queen watching people go by and visiting with anyone who stopped. Dale loved being able The to go camping, hiking, fi shing, hunting, and huckleberry picking in the Eagle Caps. When he was younger Dale enjoyed being able to take horses and go packing. In his later years he made walk- ing sticks while sitting in the campgrounds, which he gave away and which have been enjoyed by many.
