It wss Judge Waldo's habit each year
to apnd several . weeks in. .-tha MMf
taThs, passln by the known resorts and
seeking his camping-places In ths un
explored forest On these outings ths
judge wss alwaya accompanied by three
or roar attendants, whose duty it was
to keep the camp. Usually employing
men who could entertain him with song
or story, he would seek the mountains
where they were least frequented to in
dulge hla love of nature uninterrupted
by unbidden gueets. -
The judge was a keen lover or na
ture, and on his mountain trips left
himself free to follow his fancy In
fiasslng hiS time. He delighted In flnd
ng his way through placea where oaths
had never been trod. Un one or these
expeditions he discovered Waldo lake,
near the summit of the Cascade moun
tains. ' In 1877 he discovered Breltenbush hot
springs, near Mt. Jefferson.
Physical exercise waa a favorite
pastime of Judge Waldo, and while In
the mountains he Indulged at will,
climbing mountains and taking long
walks through the woods.
In the evenings such entertainment
as the Judge wished was provided by
his men. If his mood demsnded songs,
they were sung aa they grouped about
the campfire. Guns were taken-by 'the
party, but they were seldom used. Un
less the camp needed game for food,
no beast or bird wss ever molested by
Judge Waldo or his men.
