I.O.ST ON TIII5 MOUNTAIN
Amos, Lane Coimly, Oregon,
January 12111,1002
uo-i-i you w ... see oy
the heading of .ny letter l.vc on
the classic Coast Fork of the big
vnmi.ieue.
home time last summer I foimcd
the acquaintance of two hold ,
huuleis who live over on Mosby!
creek. They invited me over to
their claim for a few days shooting.
assuring me that I would have rare
sport shooting coyotes (the edible
kind) also "liars" were plentiful.
So on Friday of last week I
stalled over in company with a
young man by the name of George.
We were up and on the trail at
early dawn. Remember I had
never been to Mosby creek. Hut
bclorc starting over Jim Wallaee
had directed me minutely. I had
implicit confidence in Jim's wood
craft. So we sailed over hill and
dale (mostly hill) never dreaming
of getting lost.
The distance we had to go was
about six miles nut! wc endeavored
to roach our hosts by nine or ten
oclock in the forenoon. We kept
tramping at a rapid rate until about
two o'clock in the evening when a
faint suspicion began to dawn on
my mind that in all human proba
bility we were lost.
I told George that wc had per
haps followed the dividing ritlge
between the Coast Fork and Mosby
creek too far south and if that sur
mise was true the best thing we
could,. do -was to drop down to
This we did, but we didn't do it
in a minute. The mountain sei
steep and covered with salal and
Initial bushes which made travel
laborious. By the time wc were
half way down the mountain night
had overtaken us nnd the rain be
gan to pour down in torrents. To
atld to our troubles our matches
were wet; so we selected a large
fir tree around which we tramped
until daylight.
0 how the wind whistled through
the tree tops. With whnt deep bass
voico the oivls hooted and how
shrill the wail of the panther; and
O how my hair stood on end; and
what a beautiful appetite I had.
I thought of all the good meals I
had ever eaten in Cottage Grove.
On my waking visions the thought
of Tom Blew and Newt Jones was
ever present witli me. in my
imagination I could smell their
appetizing cocktails and hear the
gentle fi. of their foaming beer.
With the return of daylight wc
tramped on or rather slid down the
mountain to Mosby creek.
There we found a fair road down
the creek to the first inhabited
house which, thank God, was the
hospitable family of Orin Robinson.
Never did I see a fairer pair than
they. How I clasped their hands
and how gladly I accepted their
invitation to take dinner with them.
It was a real substantial farm din
ner and I never eat a better meal.
We enjoyed their hospitality for
two qays and was never treated
better in all our lives.
My advice to those that are lost
on Mosuy creeic is to mm them
selves somewhere about Orin
Robinson's. The red shirt he
usually wears does not signify
anarchy and confusion. To me it
will ever stand for peace on earth
and good will to LOST men. The
two hunters I went over to have a
hunt with failed to recognize me
fearing I was d game warden.
When I get lost again I will let
you know. Yours,
Jmums Folk.
