Sarah's Rescue

This Guy got lucky.
"Top Guide" Sarah Moore was riding down the beach with three guest riders and noticed this man floating out in the water.
She got off her horse, swam out in her boots and chaps, drug him in and gave him CPR, saving his life!

Billiard Flats

My dad found this image of a gentleman taking a nap on his mule in 1918 at Billiard Flats.

Notice his Montana Peak Hat, the billiard ball and the amount of brush that isn't in the back ground.

Does anyone know the story on "the billiard ball"?
