nearly 9 o’clock. W1: drove down
Tule Lake where we ate our brealc
fast and Sam got his hunting license.
Then the “Firing Line" where
we parked until closing time
at 4:15 pm. I never heard so
much bombarding or saw so
many hunters. We got one
goose and one duck. Lost one
duck. Not bad as it was a very
hot afternoon. I enjoyed being
out in the sun and Sam was
happy he got birds. Some
people met us Sam had hunted
with in 1945. We had quite a
chat. Home and cleaned up.
Ate at the Town Cafe. Very
good. Manzanita Chap—
ter No. 172 and enjoyed their

evening.
Saturday, Oct. 22, 1949
We arose 4:15 a.m., and
it surely "as hard to get out
of bed. Oh! Were we sleepy.
To the firing line after Sam had cof-
fee and almost right away Sam
a goose. He fell in the field, so 1
took Queenie and went after him. We
found another man’s bird first and
just as I was about to give up, I found
ours. So, I brought it in. Queenie
surely got excited over the first goose.
She danced and barked and wanted
follow the owner off with it. The sun
is out warm and bright, and the wind
is wrong. All the dust blows our way.
So, are getting all dirty fast. Lots
of geese in the air. W'e rode way over
by Lake Klamath and laid on some
quilts in the sun and slept for over an
hodr. Oh, how lovely it was out in the
sun. Then to Merrill where we sanr
pled the barbecued beef. baked
feed put on during the l'esti i211. was
delicious, too. Back to the firing line
and there were plenty ofhunters. We
stayed until then cl mned our
goose and came home. Ate spaghetti
on our way. Very good too. Now have

dust. It was bad as the Alcan High-
way. We are in early today. 6:30.
