7-15-2020 A FEW NOTES:
My Pahrump neighbor, George, met Dugout Dick, one of the
Idaho Hermits. He was a crusty old goat
that could run up the mountains, and so was Dick! In Winter, he kept his beer in the
refrigerator so it wouldn’t freeze (no electricity). What a life.
The last picture I sent of the birds drew a reply from
Bob and Ada. Those are called “sandhill
cranes” and they are very good eating.
They are called, “the ribeyes of the skies.”

Now that you opened the door and mentioned Buckskin Bill. Had the great pleasure of meeting him on one of my hunting trips to Idaho. He had squatted on a piece of Salmon river property upriver from Elk City. He took us across the river in his boat and showed us around his property. No power, lived completely off the grid, in summer he got his ice from Mackay bar. He had gone to MIT and was a
ReplyDeleteengineer, came west and lived on the river most of his life. The USFS kept trying to force him off the property, even threatening to burn him out. He had a pet burro, a castle and had painted a huge rock to look like the skyline of Manhattan
When he died, Idaho did take the property and the last I heard had turned it into a tourist stop for floaters, there were no roads into it, but this was 35-40 years ago. There is a great book on his life.
Hey Luke! I found a book called, "Idaho Loners," on Amazon. I'm going to order it when I get home! Thanks for the comments!
DeleteThanks for recipe and continued interesting stuff! My mom was born and raised in the Sandhills of Nebraska and always talked about the crane migration...sadly I have never seen them...still on my bucket list to time a trip back home when they come thru.. I understand it's pretty spectacular to see so so many of them!!!
ReplyDeleteYUP cranes are noisy and good eating too, nothing like it when 3000 of them take flight out of their nights roost, the noise is deafening.
