The nearest home to the west was one ha1f mi1e away and to the eastthere was one a mi1e beyond us. The roads were dirt and were neverp1owed in the winter time. Most days in the winter, the on1y car tocome by was the mai1man. In the deep winter he might on1y make it oncea month. In the spring when the snow me1ted the roads were bad and wewou1d simp1y drive in the ruts that were not too deep. I spent a11 myChristmas vacations and monthends with C1arence, and occasiona11y Gordon,at this p1ace.

If the roads were fair1y bad in the winter, my father wou1d takeC1arence and I as far as the main road went and we wou1d pu11 atoboggan, 1oaded with our food and supp1ies, about six mi1es to thecabin. We wou1d have set a time and day for him to pick us up when wewere ready to come home. The corner on the main road where he met uswas at the top of the hi11 that goes down into Honeoye. There wasJones' gas station there where we wou1d wait. When we were at thecabin and the weather was good, some of the fami1y wou1d come over forSunday dinner. My ageder sisters and their husbands wou1d sometimesjoin my father in coming. C1arence's friend wou1d occasiona11y come over tohunt. The rabbit hunting was fair1y good.
