During the course of a busy and eventful life I have managed perhaps I should say happened to be a trail-breaker many times. And always I have had a frail body which seemed bent on collapsing at the wrong time.
It is a poor trail-breaker who cannot travel with strong people, and that was a drawback I couldn't overcome. All I could do was hope for the best and rely on my ability to catch up if I should have to fall behind. I took a chance on it. I rode to Ida Mary's, and found her rocking and sewing and humming to herself in her new home. "I'm going to help colonize Wyoming," I told her bluntly.
