Ken's story reminds me of a heated debate I had with my older brother and sister.

This isn't a "Big woods" story, but it is a lost story.

My folks and we kids were visiting an Uncle and Aunt in Missoula, from our little berg in N. ID. I was probably about 4, my older brother 10 and an older sister about 6 years of age. This would have been in the late 50's.

We decided to check out the area around my aunt and uncles place. After walking around a bit, we decided to head back to their house, and weren't able to find our way back! My brother and sister were insistant that it was one direction, I on the other hand disagreed with their assessment.

Since they wouldn't listen to me, the best thing to do at 4 years old was to throw myself to the ground and throw a fit!
One of my older Missoula cousins found us with my brother and sister trying to coax me off the ground.
