Wilderness - Dave & Becky - Reynard
Bill attended a Wilderness meeting in Buena Vista, and drove to Salida to visit friends of forty-plus years, Becky & Dave Berry. When he arrived back at the cabin, he had a visitor.

3. The view from their house
5. The interior is as uniquely spectacular as the outside. Dave and Becky built from scratch the canoe hanging from the ridge pole. Yes, that's a billiard table.
6. A model, built entirely from memory by Becky's grandfather. Dave built the case. That's the stage builder in the picture at the lower right...
7. Becky's grandfather, building the stagecoach.
8. Dave and Buddy, a heeler, one year old, whom Becky is training for competition.

11. Have we really been friends for forty-six years?
11a. Yes! Here they are with son Tommy at our cabin (he is our youngest-ever visitor - 3 weeks old), now in his mid-40s.
12. The drive through the Arkansas River valley is dangerous - keeping one's eyes on the road is a challenge. This is Mt. Princeton (I think)
13. Back at the cabin I switched roles - from guest to host. I could not resist taking pictures of this beautiful creature. I put out several batches of food, and each time I went out, s/he merely walked off the deck, stopped about ten yards away and sat down, watching me, and then returned before I was back inside the cabin.
