The freedom to live as we choose was celebrated over Memorial
Day weekend. Decorated cemeteries and parades honored both the
living and dead who fought for our country.
The long weekend also provided some R and R time. In my case
it meant ride, rough it and research with the Over the Hill gang. About
10 steadfast riders ranging in age from a hardy 17 month old bounc
ing boy to a galloping grandmother, without better sense, explored
the lush forest near Spring Creek.
Abundant deer, elk, wildflowers and a park-like forest provided
the ideal setting. A curious coyote pup kept watch near its den to
observe the intrusion of four-footed forest stalkers.
With the freeway and a train whistling in the distance on one side
and the rushing water of the Grande Ronde River for a distant per-
miter in the opposite direction, no one could get permanently
lost. It’s just that our campsite sometimes seemed displaced. Roll
ing forested slopes and meadows began to all look alike. But we knew
we were getting close to camp when we located our hanging tree
landmark, which was used as a threat to our fearless leaders.
Sometimes it seemed as though camp moved of its own accord,
but a friend and I knew it wasn’t that easy. We weren’t in the same
league with others who had campers or a motorhome. Ferrules became
as elusive as ferrets while trying to set up a tent. Like a spaceship,
our domed bubble appeared ready for take off at times. The outside
atmosphere didn’t become as blustery as from “ night time inhaling’ ’
(women don’t snore) and explusions resulting from steak dinner
over-indulgences.
One threesome in our riding group became known as Lewis, Clark
and Sacajawea. Dressed in rain gear, two “ heap big” brave scouts
went looking for those three riders who had left camp without their
coats. We did find their horse tracks but became thoroughly confus
ed when their circling horse tracks did a complete about-face. Three
hours later those soggy, wet souls limped into camp after reversing
on a road that had led them almost to the freeway.
Trail riding rules suggest that accurate maps of an area can be
useful. It’s impossible to make sense of how the Forest Service
numbers faint roads. It was also weird to see so many bird houses
nailed on trees. Like the natives I guess that birds too must adapt
to the white man’s idea of living standards. Had we known this was
the norm we could have carried bird seed or bread crumbs which
could have also been used to lead us back to camp.
Brush poppers are supposed to ride well-mannered horses in good
physical condition. But what’s a trail ride without a few enlivening
rodeo performances. How better to school a horse or test its athletic
ability when it uncorks on rocky, steep ground. Riding skill also im
proves rapidly when one looks at such bone-crushing landing sites.
Then there are the night-time equine ground stampers and
neighbors. They found their tie lines being moved farther into.the
wood away from campers trying to catch a few winks. It always
amazes me how much energy a morse has left after a long day of
packing a rider and all the gear.
Will I do it over again? Definitely. But it does make one appreciate
a hot bath, running water and the conveniences of home.

A stroke rs the result of inad
equate blood flow to the brain.
Major causes of a stroke include
partial or complete blockage of
blood vessels in the brain or a
burst and leaking blood vessel.
A stroke can leave its victim with
permanent or temporary memory
loss and difficulty speaking, dif
ficulty walking, blurred vision,
and dizziness.
Treatment of stroke begins
with immediate hospitalization
and a stabilizing of the blood
pressure. Medications may be ad
ministered to control seizures
and reduce swelling in the brain.
Blood thinner medicines may be
given to limit the progress of the
stroke or to prevent the occur
rence of new strokes.
Stroke prevention involves
controlling high blood pressure
and other risk factors such as
smoking and high blood choles
terol. Oral medicines used to pre
vent strokes include aspirin and
ticlopidine (Ticlid). Studies have
shown that ticlopidine is slightly
more effective in preventing
stroke than is aspirin. However,
the American Heart Association
still recommends aspirin for
stroke prevention - primarily be
cause it costs considerably less
($10 to $20 per year versus
$ 1,000 for ticlopidine). Other ad-
vantages of aspirin over
ticlopidine is that aspirin is given
only once a day and periodic
blood tests are not required.
