~Eagle’s Nest~

An eagle built a nest in a tree on the ranch. When Adron drove by the area where the nest was he would try to get a shot at the eagle (this took place in the early 1940’s before The Endangered Species Act or Political Correctness.) I am not sure why he wanted to shoot an eagle; it may have been a threat to small caves. But, every time he stopped the truck, to try to get a shot, the eagle would fly. So, he devised a plan; he let mother drive the truck real slow and he slipped out the door while the truck was still moving. The plan worked in that he was able to get a shot; I don’t remember if he hit the eagle or not

I shot my first rabbit from the window of the truck. I hit it in the eye.

I liked to ride in the truck and play like I was driving, by pretend the tire pump handle was the steering wheel.
