Cowboys and Indians was the biggest game of all. That was the show! Every day there was a group of us who would ge together adn there'd be little foot paths everywhere so we could run nd hide away. We'd make our own guns and we'd shoot everybody. We'd all come back to life agan at the end of it.

We played a lot of cowboys and indians when we were kids, a lot of cowboys and indians. We had trails all up through the woods that we played on. One girl was innovative enough to have a bunch of horses made for us - you know a stick with heads on them and a little rope around the head. We'd run around with these sticks and play cowboys.

We were never in the house, not for a minute. We were out from daylight till dark. We spent hours and hours in the coves. We climbed around the rocks, We went over the River Sticks, climbed out the rope, right out to the end. We didn't care if the water was low or the water was high, we were going anyway. First Cove, that's where we had all the campfires.

In the wintetime, if we could get an old salt bag or a piece of canvas to ride on, that's all we needed. We never had no ski pants or ski gloves or boots then either,
but we spent some time outdoors in the snow.

There was no problem for us to go outside and entertain ourselves for hours. I know the parents would be calling, Come home to your supper, and keep calling. You just didn't want to quit and go back inside.

We used to leave the coves when we got tired of that and went up to Symmonds Hill and Fox Head pond. In the wintertime that's where we went. We went there every evening. The boys cleared it off and we skated up there - playing hockey. Sliding on Symmonds Hill all winter long. In winter we used to go down to Wild Cove pond after school and clear it off. Skated there and then be home by supper. That's it, no one worried about us. Pretty carefree.
