"I've been told that I've done things that most women just dream of doing. I'm not sure just what they were referring to. Maybe it was the rainy evening I hand-milked seventeen cows in an open corral. Or the years I did the family washing on a washboard down by the creek, with water heated over an open fire and then hung the clothes on the bushes to dry. Or maybe it was when I was leading a string of pack horses into the mountains and one went on the wrong side of a tree, rolling another horse down a hillside, and I was all by myself to get the mess untangled and the horses up on their feet again..."
-Mamie Ferrier, homesteader and founder, with husband Grant, of the Bar X Bar Guest Ranch (nee Smith Fork)
