What: Cody the bull wandered out from Yellowstone park and was tearing up fences. It was Donnie’s idea to round him up. He was 7 miles west out of town in a large sagebrush flat that had stands of pine trees everywhere. F tied a rope on both his horns, Cody ran pulling the 3 boys in skippy’s car. They finally dropped about a foot straight down into a stream of fast moving water. They ended up on the other side of the stream. Cody ran off with both front wheels and the axle.
Where: west Yellowstone, near the KOA
When: 1940’s
Why: bc the boys were looking for adventure while trying to be helpful
Possible hints:
did this story really happen? Why didn’t some adult law men handle this instead of these 3 young lads?
F didn’t have shoes - again - just like when skippy left him for the long walk home
The long walk home in this story was wet and cold, they didn’t realize until much later how fun it had been - another example of worth the cold
