Luckily my Subaru Forester was small enough to go between your truck and the rock wall without crashing into either. My theory is that you had water in the tank, and you went around the corner too fast, and the water sloshed to one side and the weight made it hard to get the truck through the turn. A reminder to water haulers, and everyone. Slow down stay in your lane, and also do not pass bicycles on blind corners. I like living, and hope you do too.

It is the loss of one more piece of our pioneer treasure. In addition to being a dear friend, she has been a collaborator in collecting Glade Park history for the book we are working on. My biggest regret is that she will not see it in print, but I hope that she enjoyed the research trips and interviews of old timers as much as I have. Her funeral will be at Calahan-Edfast Mortuary, Saturday, July 25th at 10:00 am.
