Quotations
1928
I made the back trip without tent and stove, having sold mine on the creeks. This is the way they used to travel in the early days, and it was called "siwashing."
1938
The day after our siwashing trip, we lounged about the cabin, luxuriating in a paradise of warmth and rest. We'd had enough for a long time of winter camps and travels.
