Nice Sign, Tom (Tommy)
I told you my daughter and I hiked there when she was here, not a long hike
but very diverse. It lets you know something happened in FH a long time ago
when you see the hills and even the dam.
I volunteered for the museum some time ago, and I read in the history, the
cowboys brought the cattle down to drink by the dam. I went off the trail
“don’t tell anyone” looking for the area where they drove the cattle down, I
found some barbed wire down along below the dam. I thought this is history,
part of the old P Bar Ranch. I didn’t want to just take it, it was part of
an old fence. So, I went to City Hall and asked for the Park Director. I
told him, “I am from the museum and would like to take some of the old barb
wire and put it in the cowboy exhibit at the museum. “ He looked at me like I
was a little crazy and “Ma am, take anything you want!”
I went down with a wire cutter and cut out a section and when I was trying to
put it in a roll, I cut my hand. I couldn’t remember when the last time I had
a tetanus shot, so I called over to FH Family Practice, they told me to come
right down and gave me a shot.
I appreciate all the work volunteers like you and the garden club do to keep
it open. Like I said, when you see the holes in the rocks and the huge pieces
of quartz, you know something happened a long time ago.
Keep up the good work but stay away from the barb wire.
JoAnne
